Blooming Days

Just as soon as we were able to catch our breath from moving we had to get right to work sprucing up the place and one of the first things that beckoned our attention was the very neglected flower bed in front of the house. The pine straw was old and everything was overgrown and littered with weeds. Needless to say it was begging for some TLC. We worked VERY hard over the course of three weekends to totally redo our bed. We relocated bushes, took out old and dead shrubs, planted new gardenias, impatiens and petunias and also laid out all new mulch. Oh and we laid out some concrete edging. With a little help from my mother-in-law and father-in-law we were able to complete the bed. It was hard work but in the end it was worth it. Here are a few pics of the finished product. Although it doesn't look grand just yet... it will.
