Unbelievable. The amount of work you've done! Looks so pretty.

But, I have a question...once you get down there to plant, how do you get back up? lol
I'm serious.

I SIT on a foot stool a d plant or stand up and bend over. Once flat on the floor, or pavement, or ground; I am stuck and can’t get up. Someone has to lift me up. 😂. Usually paramedics

It makes me happy to look at. I actually think this is the best I’ve ever done. I am very happy with it. Thanks so much. Dreamed a rare dream last night, 😂, I was eating my veggies.
 

I realize I had created a couple of trip hazards on my paths, because, yup, I kept tripping 😂. One must always be prepared to rethink their garden and redo. So I rethought 🧐 and redid. This is the view from my back door.
In the heat of the afternoon, we went shopping. Got a 150 dollars worth of plants all on clearance. The five large plants regular 40 dollars, 10 a piece. The rest ranged from a dollar to 3 potted plants at 4 a piece on clearance. Got tons of perennials and 18 annuals.

I bought 20 irises. They were 2 for 10 dollars, then went on clearance for 4 dollars a piece. Tried to talk the garden people down on price. No go. Then talked to a manager 2 dollars a piece. They are all purple. You can see the large area next to the plants which is where most of them will go.D4613CDB-6064-4C09-8481-CD8959B1CD1D.jpeg75CA2477-2A5D-4F17-A1F2-0CADE6FA9152.jpeg

You are so good at this. Have you done this in your other homes?

Thanks.

Yes, this is our third house in 40 years and each time I’ve learned more. Mostly I’ve realized not to let my mistakes go but correct them right away. It is always a learning experience. I like the outside of a house to look good, and my husband and I are both allergic to grass. Although I would like a little grass.

I wish I had been born with a stronger, healthier body. I always wanted to be a farmers wife. If I had been born 20 years later, and healthier, 😂, I could have wished to be a farmer.
 
Conversation with my neighbor:

Me: Are you going to use those landscape rocks?

Him: No, just stacked them there to get them out of my yard.

Me: Can I have them?

Him: Yes, I have to put my wheelbarrow back together.

Me: Use mine.

Him: Take about 20 minutes, where do you want them. Oh, nice, so nice.

Me: Here, there, wherever. 😍69BAEFE2-933A-4797-99BC-1444D70EC7CF.jpeg
 
Thou shall not covet thy neighbors landscape rocks, but I did, and now they are MY mine. In return I gave him two straps he needed to prop up his falling over fence. He’s happy, I am extremely happy, all good in the hood. 😂😂😂
 
Worked very hard in the yard today and am really tired.

Planted 30 flowers in the front. 20 were Shasta daisies which will return every year. Weeded, deadheaded, trimmed the roses, and started laying down the brown mulch around the grey tubs. Watered this garden.

Removed the white markers for the perennials, so many of them have come up, and used the white markers on the annuals I put in so I know which plants to remove in the fall. Some of my perennials did not return, ☹️, but the winter was too dry, I think.

Husband got up and we went to Lowe’s. Yesterday we planted five spirea plants and need more. The clearance ones had all been sold so bought Tom Thumb Cranberry Cotoneaster plants, on clearance, and planted them. Moved the Spirea plants to another place.

Hopefully tomorrow I can finish the mulch in the front after I plant the irises in the back. Later, when warmer, I will get seeds in the ground. Everything should be finished before my surgery in June. Making good progress.
 
The gardens are done. There is still a little tweaking to be done in the back, seeds need to planted but still to cold at night. Then continued upkeep of course and the tomatoes always require a lot of work. Otherwise it is mainly finished. The small garden with the apricot tree and the long space with the cranberry plants. My neighbors mother had us get more blocks yesterday that were piled in the front yard so YAY.4790E932-AFE2-4212-846B-BC1050193B3B.jpeg923974AE-1486-4B0F-B542-0BFF409C7DA0.jpeg
