Spring is here and we have succeeded on our first gardening experience. We started three weeks ago by having Weed-Man come over and remove some old shrubs and other ugly landscaping the previous owner left behind. We wanted to start fresh and do our own thing. We bought all our supplies, plants, soil and flowers at the THE PLANT SHED a local greenhouse. There we met Libby, who tutored us and told us all we needed to know about planting a flower garden. So here it is, 30 bags of top soil, 10 bags of manure, 1 bag of hardwood mulch, 3 Forsinthia bushes and 71 white and purple petunias later, our masterpiece.~

BRAVO! Good job my darling!
You impress me everyday with your many abilities!
You take after your talented parents.
You are a “natural” at gardening and drilling!
Good job.

Haha, I was just going to say:
Mom - I love gardening!
Dad - I love drilling!
Sudi (or Petunia as I call her) planted 67 of the 71 Petunias and did a beautiful job.
Don’t you like the white stones? We live in “Hills of Whitestone” so you dig down 3 inches and it’s nothing but… white stones. Beautiful little rocks. And there are fossilized seashells embedded in them! North Texas used to be the beach before the cows moved in! Hehe.

Cows turn themselves inside out all the time!
Nice flowers.

Looks like you are going to have your own GARDEN OF EDEN. When do the carrots, tomatoes, onions and potatoes go in?
Great job!

Great job, now wash your hands and go make dinner. Just kidding. Your house is the prettiest one on the block. I like the white stones. They are sooooo much better than the red bridks that were there before.

Carrots, tomatoes, onions? Well, it’s funny you should say that. I was pulling weeds in the grass yesterday and, I kid you not, I found a plant growing pea pods! I’ve heard of wild onion, but wild peas!?
