Backyard time

We finally had a break in the weather yesterday, so I made my pilgrimage to Lowe's and bought some plants for the backyard. All my hanging baskets were killed in the freeze, so I needed to replace those. I also wanted to get some jasmine to plant on the arched trellis I have near the patio. I swore I wouldn't get any more tropical plants, but I broke down and bought one hibiscus to replace the two that froze. I also bought two hanging baskets of bougainvillea...they were so beautiful I just couldn't help myself. Besides, they look beautiful all summer with their bright fuchsia flowers. I planted zinnias in the hanging baskets and moss rose around the pond so it will creep up on the surrounding rocks. The yard is starting to look presentable again.
