This lady is ONE TIRED PUPPY tonight....... You see, I've been looking forward to diggin' in the dirt all week long. It was an extremely stressful week at work and I was SO READY to relax. I made a trip up to Home Depot and picked up some plants yesterday and this morning I set out to plant them. My sweet friend Julie stopped by and told me that some of them won't tolerate the sunny location so I altered my plans a bit. She has worked at a plant nursery for years and really knows her stuff. Here's the finished look....
That's an apple blossom camellia. I wanted something that would grow tall and provide flowers that I can view from my kitchen window. The flowers will be white with touches of pink around the rims. Now all I have to do is be patient!
Once that was finished, I tackled the bed in the back of my house near my patio.... I hadn't really worked in that bed in a number of years. It was filled it with perennials that came back from year to year so the most I've done in a very long time is spread fresh mulch. Well not THIS year. I dug everything up and turned the soil and mixed in six bags of top soil to raise the bed. And in the process, earned myself the first sunburn of the season! Ouch! I didn't finish getting everything planted and mulched so you will have to wait to see the fruits of that labor....
HAPPY SPRING!!!!!!!!
