[quote=Anonymous]I just bought a house about 2 years ago, and my tips are: 1) wait a full year before you start taking things out and buying a lot of stuff. Take pictures of the yard at different seasons, see what gets light, what's already there, and what flowers. If you absolutely can't wait that long to get your hands in the dirt, buy some annuals to put around the walkway and door and maybe in pots. But see what you're working with before you decide to change anything. 2) go for walks around your new neighborhood and see what other people are growing so you know what works for the area. If you want a flower garden, make sure you think about what blooms when, so you don't have a beautiful yard in the spring and then nothing the rest of the year. Look for things blooming in your neighbors' yards that are pretty and do well in shade.[/quote]
