Grass coming in nice and flowers blooming

Been another week, but the time has really added some pretty blooms to the gardens
 poor little walkway is starting to overflow with seedlings I will be digging out to move
 my rose bush is starting to bud nicely, won't be long and it will be bursting open and they smell awesome
the upper flower strip bed behind railroad ties are even filling in so pretty and some iris have started blooming
 iris down by the road strip
 that orange azalia from West Virgina is blooming, hate to cut it out when it still blooms
 more iris and buttercups, lenten rose blooming
 white blooming shrub in center is pyracantha 
 got some purple columbine mixed with the hosta, rose bush and clematis

 such a pretty white clematis, this is one I got with my birthday gift certificate Donna if you see this, well all these clematis are, thanks!
 side yard filling in ok
 just another angle on the new strip bed, still have to find that fence to put in there
 i guess this would be the view the cat sees HAR
view out my front window - happy camper here!

 I have planted 2 native dogwood shrubs, transplanted some hosta and peony in the new strip bed :)
and I got to mow!!! It's raining but it was so pretty outside I wanted to share

Making a new strip flower bed

I have started the new strip flower bed area down where I intend to have extra parking
 I tilled it up with the tiller, then I rake all the grass out, I will shake down some Preen to keep the weeds from sprouting and taking over while I decide what for sure to plant there
 
 I have mowed a little bit of the yard, the old area, but am not allowed yet to mow where we seeded
I think a nice little picket fence along the back side of the new strip bed will be pretty with some vines growing on it, maybe a couple smaller shrubs and some of the peonies I dug up from grandma's
stay tuned, when I figure it out I will show ya
