Gardening Week: Sunny Flower Garden

All of this crazy gardening started as part of my 13 of 13 goal list to plant and maintain a flower garden!

I'm glad I'm finally doing it, but it's a lot of work (and no where near done yet...). 

This garden (below) is specifically why I made the goal. 

I've never been a fan of the garden since we moved in a year ago. 

Just a ton of red rocks and a miniature tree that needs trimming. 

As you can see, we already ripped out some of the rocks last year to plant some plants we had been given in the garden. 

The garden is not sooo huge that it's intimidating, and it provides such a good backdrop from the deck, it deserves to have flowers in it! 

Here we are removing all the red rocks! 

Taking out the plants and rototilling once again! 

Lots of time was spent pulling out all of the individual weed-looking pieces because according to mom, it's much easier to do it now, than later! lol

The truck in the backyard! Trailer full of rocks, shrubs, and trees!

And then we replanted the plants. MUCH better. Don't you think?! I was actually shocked at how many of my plants lived through the winter! We still plan to put a couple rows of flowers at the front of the garden, around the ring. Maybe not this week though....
