Landscaping

For the past month or so we have been sowing our grass seed and watering and watering.  Today we actually bought mulch and reused our wood edging to make new flower beds along the south side of the house where the egress windows went.

Here is a reminder of what it looked like before.

Here is the almost completed project.

I'm thinking that we need something bigger planted here in the middle - maybe another hydrangea bush, but Rodney's not sure if that's a good idea.  He's afraid it would be a place for snakes to hide.  We'll see who wins ;o)   Anybody have any other ideas?
