Side Garden Update

The side garden is doing well. We've gotten a ton of rain lately, so I haven't had to worry about watering the new plants.

The sweet potato plant has really taken off! I need to watch it, because I've heard they can take over the garden. It's trippled in size since I've planted it.

Front Yard Border

BEFORE

I decided to add the same wood log border to the front yard garden area that I used in the back yard side garden, to make the space more defined. These are before and after pictures, as you can see I also did a lot of trimming, and up-rooted a few plants that I didn't want in this area any longer. The bougainveillia is no longer blooming, and the hibiscus doesn't have as many flowers, because I gave it quite a good trim, but hopefully in the long run this will look better.

I still want to remove the ferns on the right near the house, and replace them with something else. I will update when I do.

Now I just need the grass to grow!

Front Yard Refresh

BEFORE

I added 4 new crotons and some new mulch to the garden area in front of our front porch. I think it makes a big difference, and looks much better! I like the tropical look, so I picked the tropical croton to go along with the existing birds of paradise.
