Now that the sod has been removed...

...I laid down mulch. Thank goodness I don't have to mow or weed wack up this hill any more.

It looks pretty bland right now, but eventually I'll have some perennials here. I think hosta and coral bells would look nice.

Hey, what I coincidence! It just so happens I have hosta and coral bells to move from the back patio. You can see I also bought some pavers to fill in the peninsula.

What is this plant? (It's also in the background in the picture above.) It has a pretty blue flower that only lasts about a week.
