While Bill was out unloading mammoth shovels of gardening soil out of the back of the Big Red pick up, I told him I was going to take a moment to "weed the front bed". Secretly I went to go plant some Hollyhocks we picked up at Home Depot. I got really excited picking out all the seeds and went a little overboard. But these guys, with the super tall growing stalks would look nice growing in front of the porch. I think of Bill's house style as a cute "urban cottage" that could handle some charming flowers out front. So why not give it a shot? Plant now, ask forgiveness later?

So to convey my master scheme, I've created a little before-and-after visualization for you. See what you think:
 |
| Expected After |
 |
| Before |
Understandably, the "After" picture might not look exactly like the hollyhocks would. Just a guess.
Also we've discussed a more cohesive "plan" for the front bed, rather than just a few bushes and whatever else we like to stick in there, and came to the conclusion Maybe Next Year. And for now we'll just have fun seeing whatever comes up.
