As soon as the weather was getting warmer, I was so eager to buy some colorful flowers for the front yard. But Jeff said that if I was going to plant some flowers in pots, it was my responsibility to make sure that they are watered. Since I really wanted to try and make the front yard looking pretty with nice pots and some colorful flowers, I agreed. One day we went to the parking lot of Home Hardware as DS Gardens were selling so many variety of plants, flowers and succulents. I didn't want to get so many as I was not even sure if I am able to handle the new summer responsibility. When we got home, I got all my pots ready and I filled them with soil and tried to group them. A couple of weeks later, my neighbor Cheryl gave us some really nice plants from their garden. While picking up these plants, I noticed that they have some black mulch or wood chips which I guess help in controlling the growth of weeds. Of course I wanted it because I don't like weeding and Jeff usually does it. Before I had to spread these wood chips, I needed to take some of the weeds and clip some of the dead leaves and branches, etc. I did all that and my back started to hurt. This past weekend, I completed the task and some of the annuals that I have been watering are all starting to bloom. So far the summer flowers I planted are still alive. I am so proud of what I had accomplished. I am trying to spend a bit more time and try to get the front yard looking healthy and alive. Here's a few of the photos I took yesterday.
