Very nice. How long since you planted it?

Thanks! My wife and I bought all the plants about 40 days ago from a local nursery that had its annual plant sale and then planted them as we finished building the landscaping. It took us 4 days working 0800-Midnight to get the front and both sides of the house built and planted. It took two pallets of concrete edgers and retaining wall blocks, 4 yards of soil and two yards of mulch plus all the landscaping fabric and a whole trailer full of plants. All we've done since planting is feed twice, treat for insects once and they get water daily (mostly from rain). It was a ton of back breaking work because our house had nothing before and buried in the ground was over 2,000 lbs of rocks, concrete and brick from the ignorant builders.

Well it was well worth all the effort as it really sets your lovely house off. I love the colour of your doors and shutters.
