This is my backyard flowerbed and patio garden. When we bought this house almost 5 years ago the backyard was a jungle and the front yard was a total mess to which we decided to tackle first. But the backyard was a work in progress that took me spending a small fortune in plants and having them all die to realize that we would have to amend the soil and totally redo the flower bed. Now it's my little love affair, every weekend I spend most of my time in the backyard.
My mom helped me with the butterfly plant selection. Thank god for her, I wouldn't know anything about anything without her. I get so sad when a plant dies because I keep this garden going because of her and her awesome yard!

Murphy loves to sniff around the flowerbed and he would not get out of the way of the camera.
Star Jasmine with a trellis made from an old headboard that I stole from my neighbors trash pile.
The Butterfly Weed that will be gone by the end of summer due to the monarch caterpillars.

Colby's slab for his new BBQ pit. He worked his butt off doing this.
The metal lattice work thingy is an old screen that used to be on our windows and I am using it for a transplanted Passion Vine to grow on.
Joplin's photo bomb.
She is bothered by me.

The PVC pipe Rosetta Spoonbill in the Patio Garden, somehow the passion vine found it.
