Oh, You guys are GREAT!!! I had to go take care of my mom and mow her lawn...so couldn't wait to get home and see what you came up with!!! Plus I stopped at the garden center on the way in..(I took the long way,ha)..
I bought a Tardiva Hydrangea shrub/tree...to replace the little tree on the left. IT WAS 1/2 OFF... they too thought it would look better...they said the other one was the wrong look for my beds, to formal...soooooo I guess I'm a messy gardener, ha.
I moved that popsicile tree to the back yard...I hurried and got them moved before dark and my husband comes home! see what you think... it will help to plant different plants also in that bed next year,
I do have a lot of impatiences on the other side of the driveway to the left,along a big rock. so the idea of buying some plants doesn't scare me....my husband is VERY good about letting me do my flower thing, he knows thats how I escape from the real world..
My mother has had 4 different cancers in the last 4 years, the last was brain, so this is good for me!! tell me if this is better...here's a pic...be honest! thanks
