Update

First off - I have no pictures, so this is going to be a BORING blog. Alas, its my only internet opportunity, so I'm taking it...

So here's the update:
The yard is coming really well!

Demolition Completed
  • rock piled moved
  • fence tore down
  • trees cut down
Construction/Planting Completed
  • 4 out of 7 posts planted for the new (chicken-proof) fence
  • corn, beans, sunflowers, potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, carrots and squash are all planted!
I really love seeing progress and improvements made. Our progress has been slow, but steady and its starting to look alot better around our place :) Also, the mystery plant in my flowerbeds is going to bloom! My MIL calls it a money bush and tells me that the flowers are dark purple with white centers. Fun!

Happy June everyone!

Planning My Flower Beds

Soon Hubby and I will be moving out of College Town and back home. Once home, I will be able to plant my flower beds. I cannot wait!

The flower beds I am working with already have a few things growing. Namely, two rose bushes, lots of tulips and lots of daffodils. Yay for perennial flowers! The tulips and daffodils are already growing like crazy. In fact, I'm afraid I might have already missed the grand blooming of the daffodils --- they were extremely close when I left Monday morning. Hopefully they hold out until the weekend for me!

Perennial flowers -- whats not to love?
They come back. Every year. On their very own!
Its like magic!
