DH just bought plants and planted some in our deck planters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125438 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:00:24 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 125438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a really big lawn (that my hubby keeps so green), and then a raised section of garden separating our yard from the street. It has some Rhodendrons and other flowery bushes in it.<br /> Closer to our house (on the OTHER side of the lawn we have a garden that has some climbing Clematis in it and a Japanese Maple.</p> <p>It's not really that exciting--it's our back yard that I can't wait to finish! It's a mess right now, but I am hoping one day it will be a beautiful place to host BBQs and summer parties! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125431 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:56:49 +0000 mrskc 125431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is pretty pathetic. We have one potted flower plant that my mom just gave me a week ago. Fingers crossed I don't kill this one. And we have one flowering pear tree and grass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125420 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:48:51 +0000 mediagirl 125420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a table and chairs on out front porch. The yard has a tree in it. We have mulch in our beds and we have lots of day lilies and irises. They're blooming right now, so pretty! I also have a peony that came back surprisingly this year. We also have beds lining our driveway that have ground cover and at the end, a bunch of azelas. :-) Oh and two hanging plants are going up by Friday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125181 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 16:01:19 +0000 heffalump 125181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I love having different things as planters. I have my eye out for a wagon wheel to plant my herbs in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125174 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:57:26 +0000 MsLipGloss 125174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ArtBee: I'm not ready for a full on garden, but I think a pond planter sounds like a good place to start. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125162 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:52:26 +0000 heffalump 125162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: A pond planter sounds awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125140 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:39:27 +0000 MsLipGloss 125140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChopSuey119: I am almost 20 weeks - we live in the Virginia Highlands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125130 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:36:56 +0000 chopsuey 125130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: How far along are you and where in Atlanta do you live?

Now, we think we'll just make a big planter out of it to (1) make sure there is no drowning risk (to anyone's child, for that matter, although they would have to be pretty ambitious to get up there), and (2) to make sure it doesn't become a watering hole for local animals - we have quite the possum population! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125061 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:11:29 +0000 heffalump 125061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: His name is Diggy the Piggy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125058 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:10:55 +0000 chopsuey 125058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA love the pig booty! We don't really have a front yard. It's super small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125051 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:09:25 +0000 heffalump 125051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Lol, you're too funny! Are you ever planning on doing anything with the pond? That would be so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125039 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:07:52 +0000 MsLipGloss 125039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Terraced - we live on a hill. There is a lovely stone patio in the front, too (with a pond that we don't do anything with), although you can't see it from the street due to (1) elevation, and (2) shrubbery.</p> <p>p.s. I love the word shrubbery . . . and piggery . . . :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125037 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:07:29 +0000 heffalump 125037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: That doesn't sound boring at all! The cherry tree sounds beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-125025 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:04:15 +0000 MamaMoose 125025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our front yard is pretty boring. We have a covered porch with two rocking chairs on the front of the house and then we have a set of hedges with a flower bed in front of the porch. I also hang lanterns with candles from the roof of the porch. And then we have a pink cherry tree about halfway between our house and the road. That's about it. We live in a subdivision where the houses are pretty close together so there isn't a whole lot of space in the front yard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-front-yard-look-like#post-124994 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:55:32 +0000 heffalump 124994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are finally starting to make our front yard look nice! We have a little fenced off area with a white picket fence so we can let the pup roam free, and we have rocking chairs out there. Eventually we want to put pavers in half of the fenced area and add more seating.</p> <p>In front of the fence we have some flowers and plants. We also have some random things in there, like this <a href="http://online.findgift.com/gift-ideas/pid-72681/" rel="nofollow">http://online.findgift.com/gift-ideas/pid-72681/</a> and another piggy. And we have one of those birdfeeders made out of antique plates and bowls, all mixed in with the flowers. </p>
