More Yardwork

Remember when we said we were going to add some more plants to our front gardens? Which we left looking like this…

Poor little lone palm tree.

Well, Justin picked up these plants at… wait for it…. Lowe’s.

First up he got two Rhoeo plants. I LOVE THEM.  I love that they are purple!

He got two Gardenia plants, which grow the best smelling flowers ever.  He also got two more sanchezia plants, the same that we have in our back garden.  The few we planted in the back are doing so well and growing in nice, he figured why not a couple more for the front?

Lastly, he picked up some more mulch and a bag of planting soil.

Justin went solo on this gardening job, I was keeping busy cleaning inside.  He started by digging the edging up a bit so the mulch wouldn’t fall onto our front walkway so much.

Here is the garden on the right before.

and this is the garden on the left before.

Next thing I knew he was done!

Boom! He’s quick!

He put one gardenia plant in the back corner of the right garden, along with the two sanchezia plants in the front.

I bought two new hanging plants because our hanging flowers had seen better days.  These are green leafy plants that will hopefully last in my care!

I asked Justin to put the two purple rhoeo plants right by the front door because I LOVE THEM! The other gardenia plant went in the other garden on the left.  The gardens could still use a couple more plants but I think they are now looking a lot less sparse.
