Walking around to the side of the house, I'm greeted by orange and red goodness! It almost made me cry today. Our yard is starting to become something I enjoy working in and looking at. Next on along the path is a little section being gleefully taken over by grape hyacinth.
Transplanted a bunch of hens and chicks to a small rock wall in our front yard. Got bitten by ants.
Love the pop of pink amidst all those green Hostas ready to open. The photo doesn't do it justice. And, I need to move the hostas away from the cherry tree - that was on last year's "to do" list!
Busy bee found something in bloom!
The most exciting part, lots and lots of earth worms in my front yard! When we bought our house the front yard was dead and brown. The former owners, I believe, used chemicals to kill the flowers of the owner before them. My next door neighbors get a kick out of watching each successive owner undo the yard work of the prior one. After composting and replanting on our part, I'm thrilled to see that soil is becoming healthy again! I'm also so pleased to see the beginning of our yard becoming the lush garden I hope it will be.
So excited for you Melinda. There are few things more wonderful that growing your little part of the world beautiful and lush retreat.
