If yards had sex appeal, mine would be Jeff Goldblum-sexy.
Adios boring bushes! We left room to plant annuals here in between the agapanthus as well.
I like to think my yard is unique and interesting and not so tightly held to the definition of a southern front garden. My yard walks to the beat of its own drum. My yard has panache and mystery. My yard strays from the typical. My yard is smarter than other yards. My yard is Jeff Goldblum-sexy.
We ripped out the boring green bushes and planted all the agapanthus and purple fountain grass then laid out new pine straw mulch. Today, I can barely walk and I’m totally sunburned.
I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate all the feedback I received from you guys regarding the empty area we have surrounding the crepe myrtle. It gave me a great deal to think about.
I was on my 273rd bottle of water at this point.
Ultimately, I decided all your ideas were crap and it’s best to circle the tree with purple fountain grass and then leave a small area in front for annuals with a ton of color. A risky move because now I have no one to blame should things not turn out well. What was I thinking? I know better than that. You should always place blame on others. It just makes life easier that way. And certainly makes you look better in the process. If my yard turns out terrible I should at least have the option of saying, “Thanks to my reader Sheila in Omaha, all my plants have died, moles have made their home in my front yard, and hummingbirds are dropping dead from the sky. Thanks, Sheila in Omaha, thanks a lot.”
Is it possible my yard is too sexy for the neighborhood?
I don’t know if we’ll win any awards from Better Homes & Gardens, but I do think it looks pretty schnazzy…
My yard is the star of Lawn & Order. C'mon! You know that's funny.
Thanks to the best neighbors, T & M. It was a blast. But let’s not do it again. For awhile, at least. Okay. Maybe never. Unless Sheila in Omaha’s “advice” totally messes everything up.

Now it’s your turn: If your yard had sex appeal, who would it be?

Glad my suggestion helped out, oh wait I didn’t suggest anything. Now I don’t feel so bad, since you rejected everyone’s ideas
If my yard had sexy appeal, it would be a pop starlet. What little it wears, is kind of skanky, shameless and pretty shallow. Think Lady Gaga or Ke$ha!!
Lyndon – Your suggestion has been the best non-suggestive advice I’ve received in a long time. My only regret is that I’m unable to not take your non-existent advice.
I love that you have a Lady GaGarden….
Looks like you need to use my brush cutter(HE_HE)
