Need help, not sure what to plant (pics included)
Comments (10)suz, I would put in the hardscape first. Where you have a gate into the yard, I would put in some cement blocks as a small walkway. You can make smaller "rooms" sort of speaking in the yard, it is big enough, and will look even bigger with "rooms". Mabey even just a couple different spaces, seperating the spaces by using a nice arbor, and growing a nice vine on it, and planting some bushes on each side of it, creating seperation between the rooms. Rose of sharon is a great shrub to use for this, it flowers and grows well, it takes triming well, hollys are ever green, mabey some of them, or small evergreens that stay real green in the winter. Arborvitae (I have emerald green), stays real green all winter, it grows slow so it won't take over your whole yard. Do you have a patio right in back of your house? If not, you should put something close to the house as a patio, mabey using either stone or cement block, and a nice big patio unbrella would provide shade and privacy from above. Don't forget some nice big pots, they are wonderful filled with any nice plants that will bloom all summer. Half barrels are attractive filled with petunias, and have you thought of a water feature? A small fountain, or pond, would be a focal point, in which all the plants and shrubs would be planted around it. Good Luck. It's a lot of work, do it slow, you can add a little every year. Sometimes if you do it too fast, you will change your mind and have to change everything, and that is even more work. LOL!...See MoreNot sure what this plant is????

Comments (6)If she kept it happy for a month, I think it indicates a different problem. OP, Is the soil moist when you stick your finger in? Do you feel water or dryness when you rub your finger and thumb together?...See MoreJennifer Hogan
