Backyard gardening plans…

25 Feb

So, I posted about the front yard awhile ago but forgot about the back yard.  I am mostly aiming for cool colors in the back.  Anyway, most of this is still just brainstorming but here’s my list of desirable plants:

Paperwhites, crocuses, and grape hyacinth planted around the tree trunks
Weeping willow
Wisteria
Lilacs
Morning Glory Perennial Vine
Morning Glories and Honeysuckle on the back deck
Hydrangea
Gaura
Cosmos
Sweet Pea
Larkspur
Lavender
Fairy Rose
Day Lilies

My earth boxes filled with tomatoes, two 4’x8′ raised vegetable beds, and a few dwarf apple trees…

And some of my Pinterest finds:

And I’m hoping I can convince Steve to help me make a sign like this:

Except we’d probably have to have an arrow pointing up towards the Death Star and another pointing towards Mossflower…
