We had been living with the plants the builder had put in for over a year, and I was not pleased with how it looked. I think I would've tried to do something sooner, but last planting season (Oct-Nov in Houston) I was 7 months pregnant, so that wasn't going to happen. The weekend prior, my mom and I drove around the neighborhood looking at who had planted what where, and what was doing well, and we hashed out a plan for our tiny front yard garden. Then this Friday, she went to a nursery picked everything up and we planted it! It was a 3 day thing, as after we had planted everything on Friday, we realized we needed more! So Saturday I went and picked up a few more things, and she went to another nursery to find more. Saturday I tried to plant the rest of it, but 10 month old boys just LOVE small bright flowers like pansies, especially when they're just planted and easy to pull up! So I had to wait for Robert to get home and I finished planting everything this morning! Here's some before and after shots:
