McComb Family

This landscape project of ours seems to be dragging on FOREVER. I guess it all takes time, but my goodness. We finally got the plan worked out, but then had to wait all winter before we could plant. Now that it's pretty much spring, we thought we better get on it, otherwise it will soon be too hot to plant anything. There's a narrow window of opportunity, and we thought we better pounce on it. Next weekend we're gone to Santa Barbara, so yesterday I spent quite a bit of time (and $) at the nursery. Here's what I got (not counting the few plants I had in the back seat because they didn't fit in the back!). They had everything jammed in there tight. At least I didn't have to worry about anything rolling around in the back on my way home! : )We started putting them around the yard in the basic location of where they are on our plan to see how it will look. So far, so good. It's exciting to see it taking shape!!

I can't wait for it to be finished. Actually "finished" is a relative term. I only got probably a third of the total number of plants we'll need for the whole design, but we wanted to at least get the ones in closest to the house. You know....it's a typical McComb project -- ongoing!!!
