Author Message   Taracotta  My Garden Posted on Tuesday, May 02, 2006 - 10:50 am:    The front yard is just so flat and I wanted to add some height. I ended up having dh and dh's father help me cut out a bed and place large boulders in there....I am now all ready to plant some goodies. I have bought a dwarf (red) Rhodie called scarlett wonder to place behind one of the rocks and a small forsythia bush (also doesn't grow too tall) for the other side of the rhodie. Just to start.... Here's some pictures...don't mind the "ugly fence" around it right now...that's to keep the school kids out of it until I can get a really nice "country fence(post and rail)one up.

This will go with my primitive country home decor on the inside, bringing my love of it to the outside as well.

It looks very nice. The fence should add well. Now for the plants! Ej So.Cal.

It is also a nice idea to bring the style of your home outside. I haven't thought much about that but it certainly makes sense. Rocks always add charm in my opinion.

Looks impeccable!
