How Does Your Garden Grow?

So I'm not a homeowner, and sometimes renting drives me up the wall. Every now and then I get that creative itch to paint walls or dig up some dirt. Luckily, Daniel finds me useful and lets me exercise those moments with him at his house.

We started a couple weekends ago. Although the front of his house had some small shrubs, it also had grass all the way up under the shrubs to the brick house. We dug up all the grass and turned over all the dirt, in preparation. Over the last week or so we've planted both geraniums and begonias in our new flower garden! (Hey it's a start!)

Next he decided he needed to tackle the back corner of his yard. There is a giant tree in the neighbors yard that hangs over the fence and provides Daniel's yard with shade. Good? Well sometimes. The bad thing is there is no grass there, and it's been a muddy mess in rain storms. With some good advice from a greenhouse called Blossoms, Daniel purchased elephant ears, hoscas and more begonias. We finally get it all planted last night. And it looks great!!

Can't wait to see what they will look like after the start growing, and filling in a little more. Maybe my thumb isn't exactly GREEN, but I think I might try to turn it green. There is something so good about digging in the dirt, getting mud under your fingernails, planting some color, and watching in grow. Now I'm dreaming of a vegetable garden, and maybe some fruit too!!!
