new garden instead of lawn - still in progress

DSCN7250 My new front garden is coming along.  You saw it with the dead grass after it had been smothered with carpet, and now here it is with almost all the plants in.  I mostly stuck to my original plan but I did add 5 small kinnikinnick shrubs to make a nice border with the neighbours on the left side - they were an impulse buy!

After I finish planting, the next step will be to cover all the dead grass with compost and it will finally start to look nice!

Grass is so overrated! Can't wait for the weather to improve so things start getting bigger!
