Yard Work

Here are some plants I got to plant around the pond. I didn't plant the big plant just the little ones and I'm hoping they will grow and spread out a little bit. Its been so great to get outside and work in the yard.


Today I spent some time in the yard and it was great minus all the pollen that was in the air. There was a yellow haze in the air today and this is the mess that it left on my front porch. After watering I hosed down the front door and porch and then had to dust all the yellow pollen out of my house.I decided to make a square foot garden this year with some help from my friend Jill. Today I made the planter and added the soil, watered and now it is ready to plant tomorrow. I'm really excited about my garden and I hope it does well.
Yesterday for my porch I bought some colorful pots along with a doormat. I got a great deal on some flowers that were almost dead but I think I will be able to revive them.Oh and this is the front planter box. I want a picture of the before and then after my flowers come up and I find something to make a border around the planter box.
