Curb Appeal

Our house has none.  Neither Ryan nor I were impressed with our house when we first drove up to it.  Thankfully, curb appeal isn't everything, but it certainly helps.  From the moment we moved in I finished painting the majority of the house, I started thinking about what I should do with the front yard. 

My dad has a gorgeous garden and I picked his brain while I was visiting.  He helped me come up with a plan for the front yard.  Something that will add interest and help to hide the ugly concrete retaining wall. 

Today I began the plan:

This next week I'll start digging the rest of the garden.  I'm pretty excited to see the changes.
