It takes lots of time, and I'm trying not to get to carried away with trees, shrubs, and annuals, as they are suppose to be permanent. So I want to be sure it's what I want. I love driving around established neighborhoods and getting ideas.
The first year I stuck with annual, but each year add more permanet stuff. We have lived here for 25 years, but I've just started working on flower gardens the last 3.
