Filling up the Backyard

Over the weekend, Landon and I finally filled in the remaining of the backyard landscape with some plants. We had taken several trips to Home Depot before finally deciding what we needed. Gardening isn't really our forte, so hopefully these were the right choices.

We decided to plant two Azaleas, some Marigolds and a Miss Ruby Butterfly Bush. I'm really excited to see if the Butterfly Bush really does attract butterflies.

Annuals

Saturday just happened to be a gorgeous day in Texas! It was a little over 80 degrees and sunny. So, Landon and I took the opportunity to clean out the weeds from our flowerbeds to get them ready for new plants.

I'm very thankful that the owners before us put in amazing landscaping and even more grateful that many of the plants were annuals, which came back. So, we really don't have too much to do this year except for a little trimming here and there and adding a few additional plants.

So, we got rid of that plant beside the pool, which was clearly dead, and cleaned out the area around the banana plants so they could come back through.

And, I took a look at the rose bushes and discovered this beautiful rose already blooming, which made me so excited about the rest to come through!

They are going to look amazing in a vase!

We haven't decided what will replace the "dead" plants, but will be working on that in April. If you have any suggestions, I'm open!
