Project Update: Flower Bed

These are pictures of our new flowers. We have been wanting to put flowers in our little flower spot for a year now, but we just never got around to it. We did plant some tulips in the fall and they bloomed beautifully this past spring. We only planted three plants since it's a little late in the season to be planting new plants. But, in the fall I'm going to get some starters from Mom and Dad's garden that I will be able to plant in our garden. It's just a small start, but we're excited to finally have flowers. Tomorrow we're planting some tomatoes in the back yard by the shed.

I actually thought that I would be able to dig the garden spot out myself while Cory mowed the lawn. I thought that all I had to do was dig a hole and put the plant in the hole and bury the roots. Little did I know. I had to add planting soil and turn the dirt, and putting those red bricks around the edge as trim wasn't easy. So, I recruited Cory's cousin to help. I told him if he dug for me that I would make him a big batch of cookies. He's the reason why this project got finished. I would've probably quit once I found out we had a little ant farm in the middle of the dirt patch. It was a fun project and I'm really glad we finished. It's going to be nice to have some color in our front yard.

Purple Flower (I forgot the name of it)


Purple flower (Isn't it beautiful!!!)


White Flower (I know, it looks like a
bush, but it will bloom some sort of
white flowers.)


Yellow Flower (Amanda flower)


These are my favorite flowers that we
bought. They look like a mix between
sunflowers and daisies.
