And so it begins… This is the front bed, continuing the red, yellow and blue theme. This was from earlier in the week, with all of the plants we bought last weekend. I also put a small divot in the mound of mulch, and made this bed look much better.
While we were out and about yesterday, we stopped at the nursery where BF had picked up the yellow dahlia that did so well in our front bed last year. We got another one (as well as a red dahlia), as well as some other yellow, red and blues for that bed. (And some marigolds
The stump has been ground, and the city even came through and filled in the hole, and seeded it with grass. They did not seed in the area around the new tree that they had to dig out to plant it, which they did not completely mulch over, so their technique is a little inconsistent,

There are plants! Mostly dahlias, but one of the peppers decided to come out this morning.
This is my first stab at doing a master plan for the yard. The back yard plan is definitely longer term, but the front yard is something I could start on sooner. Really interesting exercise – I’m glad it’s not locked in stone, because I’m sure I’ll change it, but it did help me put
