Growing

There is this spot in the garden bed in front of my apartment that bothers me. I look at it every day with antipathy. It is dry. And cracked. And dead looking. I try to look the other way when I leave the house in the morning.

But it is finally Spring! And today I was ready to tackle a project...


First we stopped at a nursery on the way home from Annabelle's party.


Then I walked around shopping plants while Dave pushed the girls on the cart.


Here is the front of our house. Do you see the spot I'm talking about?


Have a closer look.


This should help! Then it dawned on me :: I don't have a hose.


Off to the store!


Isn't that adorable? She loves it and so do I!


Soil turned, amendment applied, ground watered, plants watered. Everything is ready for planting tomorrow!
