It’s almost Summer! Which means it’s time to clean up my
front yard, plant new plants and flowers that I will inevitable kill by the
time fall rolls around. Since I’m a known plant murdered, unlike my mother who
has the greenest thumb I’ve ever seen, I choose to update my tiny outdoor space on a tight budget with things that don’t need much attention... Umm can you say
succulents please!
A couple years ago I got fed up with the landlord gardeners or lack thereof, so we took $100 to make ourselves a nice area. It’s really quite amazing what a $100 can do if you have a little space of your own and you are willing to get a little dirt on your hands.

We savaged what ever we could find laying around our building and then went to a few stores for supplies:
The 99¢ Store
Miscellaneous Plants $0.99
Planters $0.99
Home Depot
Wood-chips $4.00 a bag
Stepping Stones $1.20 each
Osh

These are a plant saver for me! Aqua Globes on Amazon $8.00 |
As you can see we transformed our little “front yard” and now every spring
we spend about $20 to refresh it. The space is well worth the investment it gives us a nice place to sit outside and enjoy that famous Southern California
weather, not to mention a much nicer view from out front windows.
Love it! Great post!
