Dunno if I ever shared my plant list and drawing for the not yet existent front bed, but I got that bit knocked out this weekend too. Bulbs will come in the late fall after they've been imported from Holland but there will be a few things getting here in the next few weeks, and I'll be tying in some of hubbys existing cacti collection as the center (sandy soil) section of the planting will be styled as a bit of a rock garden. Keeping things in pots till I get the hardscaping figured out 100% and put in.
Backyard will have a mixture of raised beds for veggies and a shade garden along the back fence and under the maple, along with a path to the shed and gate and quite a bit of pea gravel. Addressing the grading is going to be a ton of fun too. Haven't planned anything plant wise for the back besides that I want a sip style raised bed in that corner between the shed, fence, and patio for cucumbers so they can be trellised up the wall/fence/and a lattice up to the balcony. Thinking I'll go out there and paint the fences a green shaded white to help reflect some of the sunlight through the space. Camellia in the back and the Japanese maple are both in desperate need of a pruning as they've bogarted a substantial amount of the sunlight now. Beds for veg (besides the cucumbers) will be over/open to the soil and I really would like to get them finished asap so that I can get canna in the ground this year instead of strictly doing them in pots lol.
