Since we purchased our first home this year, there have been many things that we have needed to learn.  Some of these things we have taken for granted such as changing the furnace filter, or considering how landscaping designs can affect your yard.

This has meant that we have done a lot of reading in terms of learning how to take care of our new home.  I even received a book on landscaping design ideas from my wife for my birthday.  At the time, I thought that it wasn’t a good gift, but after reading the book, my thoughts on it changed.

In fact, I am currently reading the section on plant selection and right now I am learning about lantana care.  As it turns out, we have some in our yard and it is a good idea to know how to take care of them.

After I am done the book, my wife and I will sit down and plan out the layout of the yard.  Though we won’t have time to take care of it this year, we will be ready for spring next year.
