Gardening Part 1

I have recently discovered a love of gardening. It all started when I got completely sick of the forest of weeds growing in our front yard. We rent the second and third floor of a house owned by a really good friend so I asked him if I could do some landscaping. He said yes. I consulted a friend with a green thumb and she helped me pick hearty, low-maintenance perennials to plant in the front yard. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of the yard before I did all the work. Below are pictures of the front yard after I finished planting. The only things that were there originally are the four lilies, the azalea, and the ground cover on the hill. Everything else I planted!
