Betty and I spent yesterday, Friday, morning at Plant World picking out the plants for our yard. We arrived at 9:00 AM and left about 11:30 AM. Plant shopping is hard work.
If you recall, the freeze last winter killed or seriously damaged almost 90 percent of our existing plants.
We bought quite a few plants: two upright Junipers for each side of our front courtyard entrance, a burgundy New Mexico Willow, a Chaste Tree, several different flowering sage bushes, a couple of blue mist spirea bushes, a couple of Butterfly bushes, some flowering Mexicana bushes, a couple of Rosemary bushes (one creeping), one White Lilac bush and several flowering. I'm sure I forgot something.
The folks from Just Sprinklers, who removed our old plants and installed our new flagstone patio will pick up the plants (except for the New Mexico Willow which is on back order) Monday morning and get them planted throughout the day.
I'll try to get some photos of the work and new plants.

I am excited to see it all put together and to finally go to my house next week and do some gardening if the weather permits. You two inspired me
sounds like an east meets west selection..should be beautiful.
Sounds good. Nice to have someone else do all the hard work, too.
