My back yard garden is divided into two distinct areas – one small patio just large enough to fit a nice patio table that seats four comfortably, and the back garden area lined with 3 to 4 foot deep garden beds along the edges, with grass in the center of the back garden area.

Between the patio and the back garden area is a an oval garden bed that attaches to the garden beds on the right side of the yard … it’s in this garden bed that you’ll find these lovely white tulips blooming away in April.

Have you landscaped your backyard? If so, do you have just one big backyard with plants (and maybe rocks) strategically placed in certain areas) or did you divide your yard as we did so you have a more functional relaxed area ie the patio for eating and entertaining, and a garden area?
