Planning

Planning out our small back yard is going to be a little tricky. We've got utilities running along fence lines and drainage to consider so I've pinned quite a few ideas on my  Home Pinboard and started drawing up ideas in Homestyler.

We found Society Garlic over the weekend. They would make a border and look great layered with other plants.

Also thinking of putting in pavers and a small vegetable garden and fruit trees.

A little outside decking and grill for Nicholas, a raised flower bed and comfy chairs for me. :) The Homestyler web-app is really easy to use and kind of fun to play around with. I recommend checking it out if you're planning on (re)decorating. Moving around a few pixels is a lot more fun than rearranging furniture!
