Garden Time...

October seems like a strange time to be planting shrubs and flowers, but I guess it's a good time. Especially when the weather is so nice--like we've been having (90 here last Tuesday...). So, I've been busy this week looking for good deals on plants, purchasing and then planting them! It's a bit challenging with 2 young kids, but I am motivated!

The week after Cade was born, my dad & Joel worked in 95+ degree weather to build this retaining wall. It took them all week, but with the help of our neighbor and some of our friends, they were able to finish it!

This was the work they did this summer...






Joel's job was to build the wall. My job was to plant. So, it was time for me to hold up my end of the bargain!

I am hoping these small plants will grow to cover the utilities and part of the window...

 It doesn't look like much now, but hopefully it will grow & grow! 
I also planted some tulip bulbs--my first ever. 
Talk about a lesson in hope...plant them now and just hope they come up in the spring!

That looks so much better than those evergreen bushes (or prickly bushes as I used to call them). I can't wait to see pictues in the spring with the tulips!
