Today’s Wednesday Walkabout is all about backyard styling + early-season planting at the Cottage on the Hill in Oklahoma City (Zone 7). We’re taking advantage of those dreamy 70° highs to get the backyard staged, planted, and ready to actually enjoy—because this is the sweet spot before summer turns the dial up.
On the backyard game plan:
Bringing overwintered container bulbs back out for real rain + sunshine
Upgrading from dim solar lights to brighter café/string lights with a transformer + timer (my opinion: hardwired/transformer lighting is always the glow-up)
Making a safe, sturdy solution for huge hanging baskets (the kind that don’t dry out in five minutes)
Planting cool-season color + edibles in raised beds for a backyard “living room” vibe
Talking color palette: keeping the iconic red backyard vibe vs. flirting with a softer pink/romantic switch later
