My Annual Green Thumb

Matt and I decided that landscaping is fun, but it's not fun to spend hundreds of dollars each year to create a beautiful backyard.  So this year, we took a more simplified approach and are really happy with how things are turning out so far.  No more spending hours on end every weekend!  We're just about finished laying everything out and can't wait to enjoy our "pocket friendly" approach to gardening.

We bought hanging ferns for the front porch. 
And in the backyard, we planted a lot of different grasses...
  
Like Blue Fescue

 And other ornamental grasses

Wildflowers...
And Gladioli

And our latest purchase...Crapemyrtle, so pretty!
Can't wait to finish buying/planting and watching everything grow!  I'll put some pictures up once the flowers and bushes start to bloom.  Happy Spring!
