Curb Appeal

I finally got around to planting my front porch planters today. They are a little sparse, but I am hoping with a little Miracle Grow, they'll fill in nicely.

Ok, they might not be Uncle Dale flower pots (my uncle is a full time garden guy who does amazing things with planters) but they cost me about $3.00 each and we are all about saving money these days.
Now who wants to come over and help me rip out the ugly green outdoor carpet? I would do it but I'm not sure how to get the glue off the concrete. Oh yeah, I will also need to repaint the porch and fix the stairs. After that there is the landscaping. My house is a never ending to do list!
