Mr. Weatherman had said we were going to have a break in the weather, I got a bug up my behind and decided I need to take advangtage of it and plant some flowers. Well, it may be April and it may be springtime, but it really is too early to much planting, but Gunner and I accomplished a few things.
Off to Walmart we headed...(ended up at Home Depot in Albany LOL) and this is what we ended up with (Also on the way back to Lebanon, Gunner got called to work, so I ended up starting by myself!!)
My flower beds are in pretty sad shape from being neglected for the last couple of years. We did plant about 90 blubs down the side of the house, when they come up and bloom it will be really pretty. We planted lilies, glads and some dahilias.
I wnated my flower bed around my tree a little higher so we added another round of bricks, some potting soil and flowers, I think it looks much better.
Most of what we ended up planting was just in pots, still a little too cold for the ground, but the color looks really pretty.
I discovered our birdbath had a crack in it so it would not hold water, well I jsut fixed that and now it holds pansies, I was pleased with how it turned out.
I also potted some tulips that would look really nice on my non-existent front deck SIGH, maybe this summer it will happen!!!(the deck not the flowers blooming)
It was a good day, anxious for the spring to really arrive so I can plant more in my front flower bed, get some more color out there and then put some bark dust down.
(I love Gerbera Daisies!)I gotta tell ya though, I must be getting old...Even with all the exercise I have been doing, walking/elliptical, you definitely use different muscles when you garden. My legs are soo sore yesterday and today (Of course I tried to walk it out last night by walking 4.5 miles w/Missy and Nicole and today I am in 4 1/2 in heels!!)but it will be worth it when I have all those pretty flowers in bloom!
