The Em trio are doing well. Still of to chilly to take them outside after 2 weeks almost of rain and snow. It was just nice enough to get outside and get some much needed work done. I moved 160 lbs of top soil to fill under the fence on the retaining wall side of my yard. It washed out during the flood of sept, 2013, so I don't have anymore of that to mess with. Got the grass trimmed around all my trees after hubby mowed then my fun started. I pulled the fountain out front apart and cleaning it and installed a new motor, so its working well now.
Got 3 red spike grasses planted, 2 hostas, feather grass, a red coleus, a huge rosemary ornamental, hibiscus, and 2 blue fescue grasses planted. I planted them all in pots and put them in my side yard against the fence with 3 birdfeeders and a glass birdbath. I laid chocolate colored rubber mulch down under all the planters before I set them in place. Hung new bird feeders and it looks so cute now. I also did 3 fairy gardens in 3 planters so that's done. I painted a gnome, a huge roly poly frog, and my plant pedestals. I also got my African daisies planted and my dahlias are hung on the plant hanger doo hickey thing. I am sore and I am worn out but its a good kind of worn out, an accomplished something worn out. So here I am in my bed all relaxed and it will be an early night for me. I still need to clean out one bird
bath and I will be done for the time being.
My front porch with freshly painted pedestals, gnome, and frog, still need to paint the bench tomorrow.
Have to show off roly poly frog I painted
My container garden I did to hide some of the ugly side yard up in the corner by the fences.
My new glass birdbath sitting among all the plants. Many don't care for container gardens but I like them since you can move the plants around and change things up a little.
