Please won't ya watch me grow. Our garden is only a couple months old, yet she has provided us with so much fun. Lola and Louis run back and forth chasing squirrels. The guys play football and dodge the powder puff tree. We started working on the yard this pass March when we replaced the sod in the backyard. Fencing had already been installed by Mr. Fix It (hubby) last August. It had been driving me insane so we decided to put nice flowing beds in to fill in over time and hide some of the fencing. Yesterday we weeded and brought bags of new soil. Today we moved 8 rose bushes to new locations that they will do better in. Sadly my camellias are under all the shade we have and they still don't like their location. I just wanna cry every time I look at them. Instead I will give them to my neighbor because she is smack in the middle of the pines, while I just get the very tip of the pine forest. We have planted 6 trees across the back and only 2 are of the same kind. I'm usually a stinker about having to many different varieties, but at this house I just wanted trees we loved. Hopefully next year we will have our patio and veggie garden done in the side yard. Gotta take advantage of every square inch. Here are some shots of the back yard. Please enjoy and watch my gardens grow over time. I'll be sure to post many updates over the next couple of years.
Small Mimosa Tree. Smells like Heaven.
Climbing Americas Rose on the Pillars. They rarely last I bring them in to enjoy.
Looking towards my neighbors yard. I love all the trees. They only cover half of my yard the rest is exposed to sun and houses.
Picnic For My Guys On Photo Day.
Not a wide yard, but it's long. At the end is my Purple Orchid Tree.
BTW ~ I'm 20 minutes from St. Augustine antique stores. Hopefully we will make it tomorrow.
ALSO ~ Don't forget to remember the men and women who have served our country and lost so that we may enjoy our freedom. We will always keep those who serve in our Prayers in this house. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend.

I love mimosa trees ... not only a heavenly scent but those trees are so ethereal they look like they were drawn for a fairy tale. The outside "room" you created for photo day is such fun. You have a great foundation space in your yard and you'll be able to enjoy watching it grow and develop over the years.

Your yard is already gorgeous, Brandy! What a beautiful start you have, it will be mature in no time!
Thanks ladies. We can't wait to watch the trees mature. When we pass our old home and see how beautiful the trees look in the garden it makes us sad, but just for a moment
You have a fantastic backyard lots of space and fresh green grass. Unlike my brown dying grass, it just cant take the Australian sunshine its too strong!
Your yard is so pretty. Love the new plants and the covered patio with the drapes looks so inviting!
... so happy you shared at our Great Outdoors link party!

Thanks Linda. I had so much fun looking through the link party. Even found some ideas we have decided to work on.
This is gorgeous! Love the mimosa, and if I'm seeing right those are pine trees? Shout out from the East Texas pineywoods! We have 30 in our new backyard... Which means zero grass, but we'll be working on that this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm on my way for the picnic right now!!! What a peaceful, serene yard. Thank you so much for sharing at our party!

Your yard looks beautiful. I love all the flowers and I think a vegetable garden next year is a wonderful idea! You have inspired me!
