Spring Garden Delights

I have been busy in the garden making hanging plants for the deck and planters around the deck.Dave and Odelia bought me plants from the Annual IGA mother's day plant sale. Well I bought them but it was a mothers day gift. I am always up to weeding the buttercups, actually  I hate weeding the buttercups. Dave made a new bench for the garden and it looks great! I had to move plants around and re plant. I think it looks great now. I wanted something to break up the garden and add a feature. He also fixed the garden shed deck and now wow it is fantastic!

                                                                     Planter with new soil.
                                                Planter with plants. Can't wait to see them grow!

                                                          when Odelia was 3 Years old.

Still so much more to do but I am enjoying seeing the results and sharing them. It is an ongoing project one that I enjoy and sometimes feel overwhelmed with....that is part of life and gardening.

A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.Liberty Hyde Bailey
