outdoor ideas needed

[Nicole_in_somd]

Hey,

I am visiting my brother and wanted to cheer him up. His yard is really in need of some sprucing up but I have no clue what to do in the fall/winter

He has a driveway that I would like some ideas for and a small yard with one big tree in it.

Any ideas that would be fairly inexpensive and easy to do?

Decorative cabbage?

Decorative cabbage? hmmm I'll look into that.

I take my Boy to Hooters all the time. Decorative cabbage is boring.

mini-Hooters

I'd like to build one... but do I need to hire Asian girls or can I hire anyone?

Oh! load his yard down with artificial flowers plugged everywhere! That way he'll have continuous color and beauty to brighten his day... until the fun fades them to a washed out plastic look... but that won't be for a while...

I'm going to surprise Vrai and leave her a big and beautiful gazing ball in the center of her front yard. Don't tell her.

I'm going to surprise her with several already-filled bird feeders. Shhhhhh.

For the early spring: plant forsythia - it survives almost anywhere and has gorgeous yellow flowers in early spring.

For late summer, plant crepe myrtle - it grows almost like mini-bush/trees and has nice flowers when most other plants have stopped making their pretty-pretties.

Ground-cover: maybe periwinkle, with small purple flowers; maybe just do bulbs for mid- to late-spring bloomings [crocus-daffodils-tulips-daylillies-].

What else? Umm, fresh out of ideas.

Hope this helps,
Dot
