Yesterday the girls and I went up to the nursery where we got Little Bun's tree to purchase a pine tree for our front yard and try to make some other plans for what to put in our landscaping. After spending two hours there, we left with good plans and a purchase. They'll be delivering and planting a five-foot tall Black Hills Spruce in the next week. That will be going in our front yard a ways away from the house on the left if you are looking at the house.
We also bought a couple other plants that they will deliver since they are already delivering the tree. I'll post a picture below first before I describe where we are putting things.
We bought a burning bush and some ornamental grass called Maiden grass. Both were on sale...yay! The burning bush will go to the left of the porch kind of where all those weeds are growing next to the porch, except out a ways. The Maiden grass will go slightly out from the left corner of the porch, kind of behind the lilies and in front of the drainage spout. We'll be moving the lilies back a few feet so they will be next to the Maiden grass and then in the lilies place will be a Globe Blue Spruce.
We'll be putting three more boxwoods in--two to the left of the boxwood on the left side of the porch, evenly spaced, and one to the right of the boxwood on the right side of the porch. We'll be moving the geraniums, which you can see below, to the two small triangular shaped areas on either side of the front walk.
Lastly, we'll put in hydrangeas on the right side (Endless Summer or Lady in Red or both). One to the right of the boxwoods in the corner in front of the drainage spout and one behind the drainage spout. If I still have room, I'd like to find a Royal Family Holly bush. It apparently has both male and female parts, so it can produce berries with only one bush. The nursery doesn't carry them now, but may in the spring.
