I love flowers! I just didn't have enough garden space for the, when we were transplanting things here from the old house, alot just got dumped into strip beds around the house to get them in so I wouldn't kill them, now that I have lived here awhile and have had some time to get used to where stuff needs to go, I found that I needed more color in the front area of the house, so I am taking that little walkway strip bed and widening it out quite a bit
so I get the tiller out and start tilling all around the dogwood tree, and made a nice big planting area, put down some weed block cloth and started transplanting my flowers from the south side of the house to the east side, partly because we know where the water runs off the back hill and we ended up with a wet basement, so we know we need to dig a trench around that end of the house to put in drainage, so getting my plants moved before they come to dig and tear up that end
I also started a "strip" bed down by the road, it runs from the azaelia bush over to the burning bush, I have planted corkscrew willow trees, oak trees, hosta, grasses, iris, you name it, lots put in down at the road strip bed as well
got a load of mulch down finally and just look at all the flowers in this bed now
I love when a new project is complete and I can sit back and enjoy looking at everything we have accomplished here in such a short time
still live fishies in the pond
a dear friend of mine gave me a pile of railroad ties, so the upper strip bed and the new turtle pen under the male tree have railroad ties outlining them
sweet hubby made me some rustic wood planter boxes
filled with salvia, lobelia and hmm thought I had something white in there too
kittens are now full grown and bring me presents
and the hen house kitty Backfire is getting spoiled and so big and pretty now
