Patio beautification in process

Sarcococca ruscifolia

On Saturday our friend, Jake, cleared away all the weeds and leaves that had pretty much taken over our patio, and it looks good.

Now the moment has arrived to beautify the bare plots of dirt by (finally) planting some greenery. Our landscaper friend, Tim, recommended Vanilla Plant (also known as Sarcococca ruscifolia), Daphne Odora, and Boxwood as being drought tolerant, deer resistant, easy to grow, and hard to kill.

Sounds perfect!

We’re planning to stop at the nursery tomorrow after my labs. I’m excited.
