Well…we finished yanking, pulling and cutting those junipers out of the front ne corner of the lot. Only 3 truck loads to the dump! LOL! Still have a few piles of juniper debris to bag up and then we can level out the corner a bit…rearrange all the river rocks, then plant and regroup the drip system.
BEFORE!
AFTER!
We plan on putting in a drive pad (whether it be concrete or just rock) in part of that area sometime in the future, so I will not be planting anything between the 2nd and the 4th posts (see third picture).
My plants of choice are:
Grappenhall Lavender
, English Lavender
and French Lavender
, Russian Sage
, Yellow Coneflower (see picture below), and maybe a White Flutterby Bush
.
I thought I wanted a fruitless mulberry tree for the very front yard…but I’m now thinking about a shade tree that turns pretty colors in the Autumn, which is my favorite part of the year. If you have any suggestions, let me know! I live in Zone 7.
Ohhhh….just found this
~ a ‘October Glory’ Maple! Very pretty. Fast growing. In my hardiness zone!

I agree that lavender plants are some of my favorite too! I really enjoy the look and the fragrance.
