The Bacopa plant prefers partial sun but can live in shade. It's currently hanging from our front porch. The front of the house faces northeast and I'm not sure whether it'll get enough sunlight.
The front yard needs some work. It's been several months since the last time anyone's lived here. The lawn near the driveway and through the center of the yard appears to have seen too much traffic and has some bare patches.
The sellers tried to do the spray-on hair trick and paint the lawn green. They got sloppy at the base of the tree.
The first week we moved in, we hired a grounds crew to clean up the leaves and random trash that collected on the property. We asked them to trim the tree back to avoid the power lines. This is what it looked like afterward. Total hack job. I'm afraid they dead-headed it.
We have a few Spanish Lavender bushes separating the neighbor's yard. These, too, may not get enough sun. It's tough to gauge how these will do. They bloomed at one point, but are in bad need of pruning.
The backyard will be the true challenge. Judging by the looseness of the soil and big lump of dirt, I'm guessing a previous resident tried to make a berm garden. There's random newspaper pages and box panels spread out, which may've been used to smother grass.
There's a slight zig-zag in the center of the hill that may lend itself to a natural terrace. I don't even want to think about trying to keep the hill green all year long. It gets a lot of sun, though, and has a ton of potential.
Oh, I finally got a proper stand for the 3/4 acoustic. The finish goes well with the new floors:
