The Sun Came Out Again
Sunny skies mean another gardening day at my house, another set of before and after photos for you to admire, and another tired and achy evening for me. I had grand ambitions this morning, thinking I’d get all the remaining beds in my yard taken care of, but once again my limit held fast at lawn moving, weeding one bed and then the related planting. I was sorely, sorely tempted to go to a nursery after ballet dance class this morning but I remembered the rule I had wanted to make for myself, that I could not purchase any plants until after the appropriate beds were prepared, and so I decided it couldn’t hurt to try that out. And indeed, by the time I was done weeding and mowing and planting the plants my landlord brought over a couple weeks ago, I was ready for a nap, so it was good that I didn’t have to feel guilty and burdened by plants desperately crying out for dirt on my porch.
Before…
And after! About two thirds of the bed above are my container garden from last year, sans annuals (and soon remedied). I also plan to add annuals to the sparse areas in the front of the bed. Perhaps if the weather is nice next weekend I really will make that trip to the nursery, although if current weather patterns hold, it’ll be snowing next weekend…

Beautiful! Love the blue containers too.
