During the last couple of weekends Tim and I have enjoyed the warmer weather and have begun several small projects around our house. First up, Tim installed a storm door on our front door.
Second, Tim rented a tiller and reshaped the bed in front of the house. Last year I planted begonias in this bed and the monkey grass grew so tall that you could not even see them. This year we decided to go with something taller and planted 4 double knockout rose bushes in the bed. We have had good success on the other side of the walkway with another rose bush so we hope these follow that trend.
Our next project took us around the back of the house. When we moved into the house, this bed had become a big weed pile. Last summer I started removing the weeds and it ended up becoming a big mud pit. While Tim had the tiller, we decided to till up this area as well and planted 4 encore azaleas (the kind that bloom twice a year).
These plants on the deck are one of my small contributions to the enhancement of our house. It's amazing how such a small thing can add so much.
We obviously didn't plant this tree recently but it is one of the my favorite things about spring and our yard. I just think this tree is gorgeous in full bloom. Enjoy!
