I've been working hard over the past few days to prepare everything for summer. In the front yard I am working on having more planting space than ever before. Last year I redid the bed in the side of my front yard by the driveway, this year I'm making a new planting bed right near the walkway that leads into my backyard.
The pool area in the backyard has been neglected so far, but I'm hoping to fill that area up with a lot of nice plants this weekend.
Here's a summary of last summer in my yard to inspire me to keep up the effort!
Pics of my "tropical" New York City yard. I am in a USDA gardening zone 7 and I use plants that are hardy to our winters, are easy to overwinter indoors, or use as annuals to get the tropical look this far north. Please ask for my permission and give me credit if you use any of my pics! Thanks for looking!
