| I could use some good advice. Have lived here 2 years, and dislike the landscaping, but not sure what to do with it. I know very little about gardening. I like the idea of it, but not sure I have the time needed to be any good. Anyhow, the last several days/nights, I started looking a catalogs and websites to figure out which plants would work and I am now very overwhelmed and confused, and not any closer to knowing what to do.
This all started this year when my father-in-law gave me a bunch of wildflower seeds to plant. I'm thinking of planting them in the front near the lamp post. Unless they grow and look good, this will be temporary. But that got me thinking again about what to do on each side of the walk & in front of the house, and even along the side.
I love flowers, but am not good at caring for them. So would need plants that don't have to be watered all the time, minimumal maintenance. The house faces west, and all areas receive lots of sun. I'm in southwest PA - zone 6. I'm willing to learn how to prune, or whatever is needed - but really don't want to spend a lot of time on it. Am not fond of any of the bushes there now. In front is small boxwood and azaleas (the twigs), and the side more azaleas (I think they're dead). Don't know what the green ones are along the house. Kind of like them because they're evergreen - nice for winter.
I would so appreciate some help & advice. I know I'm asking for a lot. I'm almost ready to give up before I even started. Thank you so much. |
