Added Dwarf Pittosporum in the foreground of front bed. Didn't particularly like the planting directly in front of the Indian Hawthorne's' so I staggered that up later

The Geraniums in the pots have been a delight coming back each year for last 4 years! Thanks guys.

I put in some Purslane plants in the middle of the green 'strip' adjacent the driveway and the Spider plant in the middle for some flair. The house faces east so the Purslanes flower up nicely when the sun comes up and start to closeup some as direct sunlight crossover to the backyard. In the picture below I had a plan for the beds adjacent the flower pots but there quite a bit of concrete left over from construction I guess making it difficult to dig.

 

Plans

 I made some rough draft plans to help me on the journey. (Backyard)
