Mini backyard makeover!

Our backyard has sadly been neglected of plants and flowers!! I have finally decided this year to try to "brighten" it up some! I have many of ideas...but they will come with time and money! For now, we did what we could and repurposed some wood that was left in the garage! The giant hosta was hidden on the side of the house, which we replanted in the back....along with a few others! So with some craftiness, wood, and dirt we put together a small flower bed!
Clint's handy little flower box!
Flower box #2
We have a couple other spots, but they are not bloomed out yet. We have Ethan's sunflowers that are doing well, and when they bloom, will have some great pictures!!!

The giant hosta is awesome! I just planted some this year in the front and they are still pretty small, but they are the same colors as yours. I like the raised flower box-- I talked to Jason about making me one like that so for my herb garden. He made me a similar flower box where I'm growing tomatoes and trying to grow lettuce... we'll see. Sadly, all of Evan's sunflowers that I transplanted are dead or near dead-- I think something ate them.
