My mom is going to help me out with my lower garden. She’s planning a more traditional romantic garden. This is the beginning of our plan.
Cutting flowers before the deluge. I should do this more often.
Fall color in January. Weird year.
It’s not true we don’t have fall color in Texas. We just don’t plant enough of it focusing a little too much on our oaks. This is the lovely flame leaf sumac in greens, and reds, and oranges.
Wow. What a change! I had 3 trees removed. The before and after from the front of the house is above. While it feels really shocking right now, I’m pretty sure that lovely Live Oak is going to fill in nicely, and I have so much new room for planting.
That’s the last of the invasive trees. Now I need to get rid of the Nandina…
Holy cow, that’s an EPIC overhaul! Amazing transformation!! Where did you get the pavers?
The pavers came from Lowes special order.
Happy Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. Thanks to May Dreams Gardens for hosting. I actually got it done today. I’m getting some trees removed today, so before and after pictures tomorrow (or when I get around to it). They’re ligustrums and I’m SO ready to be rid of them.
This is the year of amazingly tall sunflowers and crepe myrtles.
My sotol that I transplanted in my last update still appears to be alive! And I’ve had no complaints about getting poked attempting to enter the house. We’ll see how it does this summer.
