Before! The people who lived here before had this huge flower bed...with nothing in it! We've planted flowers in it before but still had a lot of extra space so I came up with a genius idea....

During! Why not make it smaller honey?!

After! Great idea!! Don't ya think?! BTW - I had to go buy the sod alone...it was scary! Oh, and Tricia...don't laugh! Isn't your soon to be husband a professional? Ha! We're obviously not but I'm still proud of it! We put those stepping stones because when I get out of my car I always have to walk in the old flower bed or now the grass...so instead of killing the grass we just put those two big stepping stones. Hubs and I did it together...I planted all the flowers in this flower bed and in the other ones in our yard. It's a lot of work, just so you know!

My new Gardenia plant...I had one last year but it died in the hurricane. I'm having a little trouble keeping this one looking pretty. Any tips?

Our new Hibiscus tree...our other one also died in the hurricane!

My rose bush...looking mighty fine this year! I always heard roses were the hardest plant to take care of and grow but so far it's been the easiest!

Lucee was a thirsty girl after working in the yard all day!



How cute are these little guys?! Mama bird did NOT like me taking pictures of her babies!
