Started on some plantings around the patio. I put in some natives, including Simpson's Stopper, Rusty Lyonia, Viburnum, Florida Anise. This area is close to an Oak tree, so I had to plan for future shade. We have had some good rains, so that has helped with the new plants.

Working on the "hardscape" first. Putting in a stone patio and walkway. We will surround this with plant beds of various types and heights. Gradually eliminating all non-native grass.
