Well I finally got my flower beds planted and our garden as well. The weather here has been so awful that I have been putting off planting either for fear of giant hail storms or freezing weather. Well I decided this past week that it was now or never. If I didn't get the garden in soon, we wouldn't have anything to harvest before it got too cold. So Matt got the ground all tilled and ready on Tuesday and I planted on Wednesday. We decided not to plant too much in the garden since we have been doing Bountiful Baskets and can get so much produce from there at a great deal. And also last year the squirrels ate so much of our garden that I didn't want to invest money for feeding them. So I planted things this year that they didn't seem to enjoy last year. We planted some cabbage, green peppers, jalapenos, tomatoes, and zucchini. I hope it gets warm so the plants can grow and produce a good crop!!
Along with the garden I got most of our flower beds planted as well. We had a two layered flower bed in front and the top layer was so over run with quack grass and weeds that I am going to just have to spray it and plant something next year. So there is nothing on top but between the front and back I planted almost 250 plants!! Isn't that crazy. Yeah, my back hurt the next day, but it sure looks pretty and it will be even prettier once they fill in and grow. I really enjoy having a nice looking and well maintained and cared for lawn. It makes me feel good. And I think if some one's yard is cared for than most likely their house is cared for as well. So having our yard look nice makes our house more inviting. (my opinion only) Now the only chore will be keeping it weeded!!
