So I found this cute little nursery on the west side of town (great prices) and picked up some finds at the local flea market. Today we are going to work on the front of the house. There is a small neglected flower bed that is filled with Purple Queen and some kind of flowering bush. I have planted various things and killed them all over the years. (We'll have been here for 6 years in August.) The Purple Queen and a few succulents are the only things I've managed to keep alive. Hopefully I'll have better luck with this batch. I would love to be a gardener, my sister is an amazing gardener. She is always planting, moving things, arranging. It's a skill that has been lost on me!
We have a huge yard, front and back with nothing but grass. Although this year it's probably more weeds than grass, maybe I shouldn't confess that. But I will be honest about what we are starting with here - hmm maybe I should apply to be on a few home & garden yard/garden shows - I might get lucky!
Along with the front area I bought a few herbs to do a little container gardening on our porch. So I'm off to work on that while I'm waiting for the heat to subside and I can start digging later this afternoon. Hope you are having a peaceful Sunday.
