Garden update

I went out and took some pictures of the garden since I've had the marigolds in for a while and recently planted mums. Here's how things are looking!

This is the flower bed on the right side of our house (if your back is to the street) in the front. This used to be horribly overgrown, but we've since taken almost everything out and replaced it with hibiscus, roses and mums along the edge.





Here are the front flower beds with marigolds:








Close-up of the marigolds. They're loving it!




This is the left side of the front. This hadn't been so overgrown, but I planted a few more hibiscus, some purple coneflowers and mums along the edge.

Crown of thorns planted along the sidewalk near the house:
