Flowers

Bo expanded my flower garden this year. Last year it was just from the driveway to the front steps. This year we added from the other side of the front steps to the end of the house. That's a BIG flower garden! So I decided to plant my herbs, spinach and onions in the front as well. Any green is good and flowers are a bonus! LOL My hollyhocks are coming back from last year and there is something else trying to come back, but the rabbits are eating it so I don't know what it is! Stupid rabbits! I planted some petunias, marigolds (yellow and orange), asiatic lillies, foxglove, daisies, lavender, asylum and a wildflower mix. About half of the free irises I got are coming and one even has a bud! Of course, I planted morning glories by the fence outside my bedroom window. I just love morning glories! Bo planted a honeysuckle in the corner of the yard by the driveway. We also got a peach tree this year; it's in the front yard. Jeremy had a bleeding heart that he always wanted to plant so I planted it. I hope it wasn't too old to come up! Most of the grass came back, except for one patch that is grass-resistant! Bo bought seed that's supposed to grow anywhere, but it's not growing there! LOL Oh well. I spread the bark over the flower bed this afternoon, but 5 bags just wasn't enough. It's spread pretty thin; I think I need about 3 more. It looks like it's going to rain. YAY! My new transplants and seeds need some moisture from Heaven! I'll post pictures when I get a camera, hopefully soon! Happy Spring!
