First attempts!

We planted our bulbs and also the (tiny) hydrangea. We'll find out next summer how acidic/alkaline our soil is. (The flowers will either be pink or blue).

We also bought some shrubs for the front yard. The are really tiny now but hopefuly in a few years (or 10) they will look to scale. There are 2 dwarf blue spruces and a rhododendron. Both types are found in abundance in our neighborhood, so they musn't be too hard to keep alive!

Decorating - will leave that to Shirley (except for my "mid century" bias)
Looks good!

Plantings - looks like your spruces need to come out of the planters and get into the ground.

Been cutting down dead red pines myself (our woodlot) ... when they try to fall the wrong way gets one's attention REAL QUICK... no serious damage yet (but thankfull for my kevlar chapps)
