Well, it’s spring and in the Mery household that has come to mean projects. Last year we did a little work in the front yard and some pretty major work in the back yard. This year we’re hitting the front yard again.
Here’s the plan:
- Front Bed: Pull the Indian Hawthorns and Japanes Boxwoods out of the main bed
- Front Bed: Add Penstemon Sage and some daylilies
- Utilities: Kill the grass
- Utilities: Screen the utilities from the street with bi-color iris, more Penstemon Sage, some purple Verbena and more daylilies
- House: Kill the grass to the right of the garage door
- House: Add a bi-color iris, a purple Verbena, and either a crape myrtle, mountain laurel, or a cherry laurel
- House: On the left side where the long red-brick wall is, install two Natchez crape myrtles
Of course we’ll have to bring in dirt and then mulch everything (front and back) when we’re done. It sounds like a lot, but if the rain either holds off our moves out by tomorrow afternoon, we should get it all done this weekend.
As always, we’ll post before/during/after pictures as we go.
