XUMusketeer's Front Flower Beds garden

Garden Type: Frontyard | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Clay

This is our front yard. There are 4 flower beds, and 3 trees (2 maples, one pear). One Magnolia bush.

In the flower beds are some assorted bushes, 3 little pink rosebushes, some hostas. There’s a bush that has little red berries in the autumn. I have no idea what it is.

In the Fall of 2008, I planted tulip, crocus, and daffodil bulbs all around.

After I saw this garden of yours and wished it wasn’t too late for planting bulbs, I happened to watch this fabulous show about Brent and Becky’s Bulbs They plant several different bulbs in each bed, with a variety of blooming times, so there’s always something blooming everywhere. It was gorgeous, and I must start fantasizing about planting that way this fall.

That’s kind of why I picked the tulips that I did. They should theoretically bloom at different times. We’ll see though! They seem to be growing at about the same rate (except for the “late” blooming ones, they did pop up about a week after the others).

It should be Crocuses, Daffodils, white tulips, pink tulips, purple tulips. (I think – I forget what order the tulips go.)
