FLOWER CHILDREN



Yesterday we played in the front and side yards. Big Bore served double duty as the Official Hole Digger-Upper Dude and Water Boy, while I was The Amazing Planting Person. Since I found the camera battery charger in the backseat of the car last night, pictures of our efforts were taken this morning.

We mainly planted impatiens, marigolds, and petunias, and transplanted some Mexican feather grass "volunteers" from one side of the driveway to the other. The five porch planters that Big Bore made me over the winter look fab and should fill in nicely.

We have caladium bulbs to plant in the backyard when warmer weather arrives, and I'm still in search of hot pink angelonia and pink trailing vinca for the Pink Garden that already has lilies and dianthus coming up. Also want to get a special type of trailing coleus that I like but haven't found yet. Picky, picky. Definitely a work in progress.

Today we mulch and and tell all our new flower babies, "You look mah-velous!"
