As I mentioned last week I really want to discover my green thumb. So I decided that I should start with some flowers. I figured flowers were an easy start and they would brighten up my backyard. So I ran to Farmer Clem's and got some supplies...
In this picture you can see my yellow mums, orange sunfire something-or-others, soil, fertilizer, etc, etc. Anyways Mol and I set to work getting some rocks to stablize the bottom of the planter while Dan drilled a few drainage holes in the bottom. Once we had the rocks in place we poured in some soil and set to work planting our moms and such...it took some messy hands, a broom for clean up and a few play breaks...But we did it! Once the job was done I tidied the yard and put out the new chairs I bought at Canadian Tire. With a new table in between and some votive candle holders I think my little oasis in the back yard is coming along quite nicely! It's not much to look at yet but with some more flowers,
my hummingbird feeder, some decorative cushions (that I'm sewing!!) and some more greenery I think it will be a lovely place to sit and relax in the evenings.
This is my chair...note my beautiful flowers
It's not much yet, but soon it will be our backyard get-away
