This is a lovely white rose bush (that would be protruding from the top of the picture) in the middle of our front yard. That beautiful hot pink and yellow flower was actually grown initially in Ava's class and then transplanted into the bucket. Ava makes extra sure that plant is well hydrated! 
Here is the part of our yard that will eventually feed us. It is full of some of our favorite foods - three kinds of green beans, two kinds of lettace, spinach, and a couple odd plants/foods of which I have never heard. The row of pansies divides Ness and my part with the part that is for Ava and Eli. Although their section does have seeds planted, the children love to dig holes in it and makes huge puddles and ponds. It should be noted that the kids are not allowed to mess with any other part of the yard. Now watch their section be the most prolific!
This is an example of how Ness has a wonderful eye for tastefully decorating our yard. Often is the occurrence lately where I go into the garden and see new plants on the ground waiting for plantation. My job is simply to make them look good (i.e. the grunt work - Ness is the brains of the operation).
I don't know what this is but the bees already have pegged it as their favorite.
This is our front corner. Much of it was already here when we moved in, but thanks to contributions for Grammy and Mimi, everything up front looks neat and beautiful!And it is of ridiculously high importance that our surroundings be soothing. Because Ness is attempting to complete SOS and a MSN, and this has made life slightly hectic. So it's nice to forget those things and escape to the beauty of the garden (with the wonderful sounds of bouncing youth on the trampoline in the near distance).

Looks and sounds great to finally have color in your yard. I can't wait to have some myself. Aunt Robin
Lovely yard. I've got no idea what all those abbreviations mean that Ness is up to, but good luck!
The Great ShooHoo is quite proud! We both have been busy in our flower gardens this week, too. The weather is to turn the next few days; I hope it doesn't kill my newly planted 7 foot palm tree. If I can't live in the Caribbean, I can make the backyard look like it! Your gardens are looking beautiful- a perfect marriage on your end in so many ways! -Mimi
Love the flowers! I dream of having a pretty yard, but in all reality I have to idea where to start!!! I may need to hire Eric to come do the actually planting in exchange for babysitting and golf! ;)
