New ones for my birthday! Thanks Angie and Mommy!
And now my garden is aphid free!
I also added some snap dragons and daisies:
Now the important decision: Where should I hang my three new yellow hummingbird feeders?
Should I hang all of three of them here:
Or should I hang them here:
I have one large one and two small ones so I want to hang them all together.
Still have work to do but it's going to be super cute out there soon!
I need to sew some ribbons on to attach the cushions to the chairs and get a little pot or something to put on the table. Table, chairs and cushions were $80!
Obviously, they need something alive in them!
I'm also going to get a big planter box to put on the ground to make the plumbing parts a bit less visible!
The dirt pit will soon be filled with bark like the rose beds and will have
There was just too much going on! I decided to turn it into a rose garden, with two beds for seasonal planting. My neighbor came by a few weeks ago and taught me all about taking care of my roses. She even pruned them for me.
But all of the recent rain led to a bit of a weed/clover problem! The clover, by the way, is NOT fun to get rid of.
We finally got a weekend without rain. Yesterday my parents and I went to Lowe's to get some supplies and today my mom came down and we set about killing the clover!
While weeding I discovered that one of the pieces of wood that bordered the beds had a nail sticking out of it. Not the best thing when one has an (almost) 3 year old hanging around! So, EG cut the boards and I pulled them all out. Then it was another trip to Lowe's for the edging pieces!
And here is the result of today's labors!
I need to make *another* trip to Lowe's for some more bark and pebbles and we ran out of the edging stuff but all in all I'd say it looks pretty good! It's supposed to rain again this week so I will have to finish it when we dry out again.
I can't wait for my roses to start blooming!!
I like being outside, I like pretty flowers but... I don't like when critters hitch a ride in my wagon!
Although I will admit that big green spider-bug is kinda cool looking.
I just much rather prefer to look from far, far, far away!
Not hanging from the branch I'm trying to throw in my yard waste can!
