Planting


Flowers
Originally uploaded by Dan and Ann
We've been doing a lot of planting work lately. Last Friday, we planted a big garden at Sadie and Nellie's daycare, which looks great. We're also planting around our house.

We took the smaller raised bed that has been fairly neglected in past years and planted some flowers in it. Sadie picked out the flowers, phlox and salvia. It looks so much better with nice neat planting and fresh mulch.

Grandpa brought Sadie a small planter and she picked a marigold to plant in it. We used the extra marigolds from the flat to start the whiskey barrels at the end of the driveway.

This weekend, we need to get more plants for the whiskey barrels and for a new pot that will go near the mail box. We are also going to do the veggie garden this weekend with tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, one row of beans, bell peppers and hot peppers. We'll also do some herbs in pots on the deck.

What ambition! I'm looking forward to seeing the results of all your hard work. I need to get my planting done this weekend. Unfortunately, I can't view the pictures on the blog from work now. We have new filtering software that doesn't like "flikr".
