We have a small sago palm tree in the flower bed beside the table. There are also a couple of day lilies.
Jeff's orange tree is planted...yes you heard it right...it is in the ground to stay...no more carting it in and out if it gets a little cold! HALLELUJAH! Beside his tree are some more day lilies and lamb's ear. The lamb's ear is really soft.
We have a walkway coming from our gate to our decking. It goes through the flowerbed to give everyone a nice experience. The first thing they have to walk through is the 2 trees (dormant right now) - which are vitecs and then a Japenese Yew (it is the green bush).
The fence post is lined with jasmine. Jeff's blackberry and raspberry plants are in there somewhere too.
We have a spot for our future garden. I want to plant tomatoes and bell peppers. In front of the garden, the landscapers put Jeff's strawberry plants....I dont think they will make it there. We might be making another trip to the nursery for more of those.
Everyday Jeff wants to go to the nursery to see what plants they have in. He is itchin to buy, buy, buy...I am trying to hold him off till it is a bit warmer and we don't have to worry about a flash freeze to kill the plants.
The landscapers also bricked our front flower garden, replanted 3 new trees and fixed our sprinkler system. WHEW!
I am sure in the summertime it will all be worth it.
It was fun to sit outside Thursday night. It was warm, we had the lights on and we ate dinner in the chaise lounges. Can't wait until summer!

That looks so good! I can't wait to have some bbqs there this summer. ;-)
It looks really nice - I bet you're happy to have that done!
Wow, that sure looks nice. I didn't see it before but it looks great. What about the rest of your house. Do post photos of that as well!

Looks wonderful! I love the night time lights and the palm trees. You should post of picture of the whole yard to see everything together!
Everything looks great. I didn't know you guys had so many fruiting plants growing back there. I would love to know how you keep bugs and critters of out your garden in summer.
Well, Jeff will be in shrub and plant and flower heaven. It really looks beautiful. I know it will be a source of joy throuout the summer. We can't wait to see it in person. You have worked very hard and it has paid off. Now all we need is warmer days so go swimming! 1st class!
