May 29, 2012: Front yard flower garden.

It’s time to make my front yard stand out!  My neighbors have flowers in their front yards, and it seems that I have the only house with no eye-catching allure.  I wanted to keep things simple and cost-effective to get the job done.  I purchased 24 Asiatic and Oriental Lillies for about 0.75 cents per piece at Walmart (I think it’s a really good deal).  I decided to plant them in a square fashion around my rose bush to give my front yard a little more color.  I prepared the area the same way as my vegetable garden and mixed in 1 bag of Sta Green garden soil to the tilled space.  I think these flowers should complement the rose bush very well.  What do you think?
