There's always...fortunately...a new project just around the corner. So for 2010, I'll be focusing on giving my front yard some much needed "curb appeal".
The grass is in good shape and the green structure of plants is in place, but it looks a little dull. I've identified six areas...actually seven...that need a splash of color and a little pizzazz.
And, then there are some plants, like this wild and crazy African iris, that desperately needs to be divided.
Something tall and colorful to soften this hard corner is a must.
Ohhh, and what can you say about this dull area. YIKES!
And, the mailbox bed really has been neglected even though I look at it up close and personal everyday when I get the mail.
So, I'm delighted to see that I've got my work cut out for me in 2010. My mind is already playing around with ideas and plant combinations. Now, as soon as the weather warms up a bit I'll get started on my "curb appeal" project!
A Happy New Gardening Year to All!

Happy New Year, Simply Susan! I've read your blog in the past, but now I'm an official follower! Loved reading about your plans. Isn't it great that a garden is never finished?!
Kimberly...Welcome! Always glad to hear from a fellow-Floridian. Hope you've got your garden bundled up this week.
Floridagirl...Thanks for returning. It is fun that gardening allows for new plans and changes all the time. It definitely does keep it interesting.
