Our new garden in our backyard

We decided we wanted a desert garden in our backyard. We had the backyard surveyed and discovered we owned a lot more land than we thought we owned.  So we used it!.  We put in new plants, a new border, and water spigots to each plant.  This will give us something beautiful to look at when we are on our rear patio or are inside our home.

Vicky spent a lot of time planning:

And she spent a lot of time placing the new plants.....then re-placing them...then re-placing them until they were JUST right!  Her part of the project was learning about all of the possible plants that would flower in this area, designing the overall look, purchasing the plants at the nursery, and trimming.  My job was to carry heavy stuff.  We each have our skills.

We purchased small plants, so we could watch them grow.  In a year it will really be something. All kinds of color.   Then it will require time to keep it from being overgrown with color.....in the desert.  What a problem to have, huh?
