BUT we are trying to change the brown thumb trend this year!
So armed with the garden expertise of my MOM and the muscle of my DH and HS SON.... here are a few not so good pictures of the outside garden fun we have had in the past few week-ends.
Brand new Belinda's Dream roses along the wall
Geraniums from High School fundraiser
Hibiscus in the big pots
Lavender... supposedly grows well in the hill country
Secret garden....aka sideyard.... but secret garden sounds more artistic
But if the gardening efforts fail...we can always sit back and enjoy the view !!
These are the garden BEFORE pictures.... can't wait to post AFTER.... keep your fingers crossed !
Birdhouse... no green thumb required
Bouganvillas... They grow like weeds at Nancys... but I will have to baby these
Front porch.. no flowers due to deer
Ladies on the front porch

I think I have "Secret Garden" envy. WOW! :D
Looks like you are on the right track. Can't wait to see the "after" photos!
Remember, we amateur gardeners only show the "good" photos but we have plenty of failures too....
Go grow!

Your garden looks beautiful! You have some really nice planters and those ferns around your bird feeder make me envious!

Thank you all for your garden cheers for me...
Laura, I cant wait to see if those pretty pink roses bloom and start to climb the wall. Fifi, I will always feel like an amateur at gardening... but I am determined to make something grow this year ! Brin,it is an amazing fact that when you give an area a name, it looks so much more attractive ! Cindy,believe it or not, I inheirited those big pots when I bought this home a little over a year ago. Joni, I love a view too..I looked at houses in our neighborhood for 16 years before I found this house with a view and we love it !
Hi, This is my first visit to your blog but I'm going to mark you down as a favorite so I can follow along on your journey.
Funny how a name can make a place more special.
I have a bathroom that has a door to the side of the house. The door is a big window too. It looks ugly outside right now and I decided to have a "Secret Garden" out there too. I have not been able to start on it yet but I will be soon. God willing.

Joanne hah! I love it... see how much better that icky ole space looks already ???? My secret garden was so thick with big thick ugly hedges that it truly was secret ! Now the bushes are gone ( took awhile) !... and the beautification begins !
I love your secret garden and what a view in the last photo! You have a beautiful place and I wish you the best of luck with your garden! I'll ask my husband if he has any tips for the boogie plant. I've never seen one in a pot so maybe if you plant it it will take off. :)
