Hi Fannychup! Your backyard looks great. I really love it. Like you said, great bones. I'd love to see it's progress with flowers, so I hope you do post again!

Thanks container girl! The last couple of days were warm and balmy. I was able to spend some time in the yard. Starting in a new garden is like getting to know a new person. You just don't know what to expect.

That is a really beautiful space! I love the brick patios and the trees -- good bones indeed! I bet with all that brick and the walls, you can cheat by at least a zone.

Yes, I have found it to be true. Daffodils bloomed a week or so earlier then the surrounding area. Unfortunately it's been cold for a couple of weeks. To cold to plant. Does anyone know if you can plan perennials before the last freeze date?

The back is completed finally and I am so pleased with the results. In the evening, with the lights on the place is magical. I can't believe this is my garden. Here are some shots:
