Well the front of our house was a mess when we moved in.  There were so many weeds where there was supposed to be flowers.  I never thought I would get all of the weeds pulled.  We first used Round-Up to try and kill as many weeds as we could.  Then Drake and I spent about 2 hours pulling weeds and digging up dirt.  (Never again do I want to pull another weed :) )

We shopped around for plants and found some at Lowes and Frazee Garden in Brownsburg.  We bought one boxwood and two azaleas.  We also bought a few flowers.  Next year I hope to plant some more flowers.  It just looks better than it did.  It is a start!  We also put down new mulch around the flowers, bushes and trees.  

Here is the house before...if you notice on the right you can see some of the weeds.  When we finally moved in the weeds were 10 times worse!
Here is after a few hours of work.  The flowers have now bloomed.
The hibiscus tree has started to bloom a few flowers.
