SPRING!!!!

I have been elbow deep in my front garden for the past 2 weekends and loving it. Each year I get twitchy when I start seeing my plants die down for the winter and can't wait until I can plant again. I looking longingly at the garden center of Lowes awaiting the colors of spring to arrive.

I have given up on my dream of having a orange and blue garden, my blue hydrangeas are the brightest fuchsia you can find. And have embraced the pinks and purples that my soil creates. This year I have slowly begun to add rubber mulch to the mix. So the front has rubber mulch and then further back in the wood stuff where it tends to get washed out by rain.

With the final addition of discounted pansies I have finished and now need to wait for the growing to start. Once we figure out how (and who) will de-flood the backyard I will start back there. We have 5 weeks to get the swingset up and things figured out before it is my turn for the baby-sitting co-op to meet here.  Cross your fingers it's not raining that day.
