Actually, that's an old photo. Since that photo was taken, I've put nearly 100 vinca starts in the center "island" bed surrounded by those paths we poured. I've since planted variegated pachysandra in the entry bed on the right (where the pot of blue flowers is). Also planted a Mock Orange, Cecile Brunner climbing rose I plan to train onto that fence and a potted Blue Moon rose in the corner of the side fenced bed (3rd photo). The Turk's Cap in front of the fence are 2 years older now & sprawling to the path edge, so no room there:
In the front yard, the huge liriope/nandina 'Firepower' bed, well that photo was taken AFTER the horrible freeze and 100% cutting down of those Giant Liriopes, that will fill that space when they reach their former, sprawling size. They have only regenerated half their typical size to date. Also since the freeze, I have planted irises in all the bare spots in that same bed. So I've pretty much filled all my planting spaces. Besides, there are 3 Crape Myrtle trees in that bed and their roots, although not visible, prevent me planting much more into that bed.
Only place in the yard I might be able to stick some small blooming plants would be around an abelia and 3 young Forsythia trees planted elevated up in a 20' cement planter the former owner built along the front driveway seen below. That is the only bare dirt I have left for planting. And quite honestly, nothing I've planted there, despite replenishing the soil some years back, has performed very well (other than the already present abelia). Lime may leeching out of the cement and cinder blocks she built it with discouraging some plants from doing well there.
