This project was relatively quick and easy. I didn't have to buy anything I just shifted stuff around. If you haven't followed me before, I have been working on a massive rose garden on the back of the house. The back of the house is full of windows that had curtains covering them. As I began redoing the back yard, I had opted to open the curtains. The informal dining area windows faced a screened porch that was a mess...the following pictures are the "before pictures"
 |
| I used it as gardener storage. |
 |
| Perlite, shovels etc is what you saw |
 |
Well, I opted to move all this stuff to the garage. I attempted to power wash which made things worse not better but there is pollen everywhere.
After Pictures

 |
| This is what you see while eating breakfast. It's looks like a brunch area. One day, I will make it a sun room by replacing the screen with glass and tiling the floors. |
 |
| Looks like a restaurant almost. But it's like decorator towels....more for looks. It does look nicer..but the pollen on the screens are annoying. |
Meanwhile...back at the ranch...the springtime show is about to begin...and the lights are flashing.
 |
| Pink snow camellias I just planted are starting to bloom |
 |
| My son bought me this as a gift....from a distance it looks like a surprised owl....I think it might scare birds more than anything....but I do like it. |
 |
| Recently purchased azaleas |
 |
| Coleus seeds that I just sowed |
 |
| Zinnia seeds are popping up |
 |
| Tulips are surfacing |
 |
| Know what's a bad idea? Planting rye grass over daffodils....can't tell what is what... |
 |
| Snow crocus are sprouting |
 |
| Icebergs are blooming and yes, black spot.... |
 |
| Knockouts have been blooming |
 |
| Indian Blankflower has been here all winter...did not take care of it at all and its on a very sandy dry slope |
 |
| The juniper arches I planted at Thanksgiving looked like they have grown. |
 |
| This weed personally OFFENDS me......I don't know why but I hate it |
 |
| Sunny knockout tree blooming |
 |
| The nursery where I bought all the perinneals let me have the "holders" These things come in very handy |
 |
| These bougainvilleas have never looked so good. I didn't feed them..but they received a TON of water...I am discovering the secret to these is water...they say they don't like a lot of water on websites..but I'm gonna go ahead and disagree. |
 |
| Tulip trees are budding and blooming |
 |
| Hibiscus in the greenhouse |
 |
| Easter lilies |
 |
| Huckleberry..and oh, I am sneezing like crazy this past month. |
