I wanted to take a few pictures of the flowers and plants we planted at the beginning of the summer and at the end to see how it transforms.

Here is the before....

 Now here is the after. The sweet potato vines definitely grow like crazy and bring a lot of color. There were some flowers I liked and some I didn't love and wont use again. I'm definitely not an expert in flowers, so this will be a trial and error for a few years until we figure it out. I figure we will just keep slowly adding perennials over the years and end up with just a few annuals that add a pop of color. But until then, we have a lot of annuals.
