YES! I'm starting to really love gardening. I'd like to do a screen of privacy trees along the fence line in the back yard to reduce road noise and make our yard look more green and lively. Right now we can see our neighbor's ugly boat when we look outside and we want to hide it.


We just bought our first house in October, and the yard is devoid of any life. There's very, very little grass. It's not landscaped at all. Starting from scratch is going to be a little costly compared to future years, but I feel like it's all going to be worth it. I'll be focusing mainly on perennials this season. I got a few Hostas to line around the front porch, 6 stargazer lilly bulbs, some grass seed just to get started on growing the lawn, and a couple of small planter buckets for wildfowers just to add some color to the front porch.

I'm pretty excited to start with a bare yard, front and back, that way we can landscape it the way we want.
