Just spent the last week planning my new garden.
We recently moved from Tempe, AZ to Providence, UT. We bought a house with a large backyard. Since all it has is a couple of raspberry bushes... it's a blank slate.
This will be my very first garden. I am planning to have a large portion of it to serve as a flower garden. The garden will be in an "L shape" with the following dimensions: 30' x 30' (10 feet deep). The majority of flowers will be perrenials. The color scheme I went with with is: pinks & purple.
In addition, a portion of the backyard will also be used for: veggies, grapes, and fruit trees.
Here is the BEFORE photo of our backyard - Summer 2007 (before we bought the house):
