Marigolds 2016

I got a great deal on some Marigolds at the local garden center!  I got them planted on Saturday April 23 and Sunday April 24. Hoping they help keep the bugs at bay this summer!!!

Rock Garden Area Update

On Saturday (April 23) and Sunday (April 24) I was able to work in the rock garden area on the front/side of the house. I got the whole area weeded, with the help of my dad who came down for a visit!  I got some perennials and some annuals planted: this took 2 days. I will post their names after I get them all written down!!  I also transplanted some wild onions.  I just need to add some more rocks...thinking Colorado River Rock...and this area will be finished.  I love that the yard is starting to take shape and I have more areas that are looking good and more natural!!! My goal is to have less lawn to mow and more areas that have plants growing in them!

Tulips 2016

I planted some tulips last fall...they are starting to bloom in the yard!  I love these spring flowers!

Iris are Blooming

Here are a few shots of some of the Iris in the yard after the spring storm the other day! These Iris came with the house! Thanks to whoever planted them years ago!!
