Planter Before & After

It has been a very warm Spring here in Oklahoma, so I thought I would tackle the unsightly back patio planter.  It has been sitting there all winter looking all sad & ugly!  Last week I decided it was time, so I headed to Lowe's to get some fun plants.

Our home faces West so our back patio only gets morning sunlight.  I had to go with some shade loving plants.  Last year I planted flowers in there & they just didn't do well...  Heres to hoping these will!

Here is the finished product!  I LOVE how it turned out!  When the hosta's get a little bigger after the summer, I am going to plant them on the back side of the house.  It is a much prettier view for my morning cup of coffee on the patio!

 

Here is the awful before picture!

Next project is working on the front porch!  This will be AFTER my neck is feeling better!  Have a wonderful end of the week & weekend!

Linking up to these parties!
