Now, onto some ghetto fabulous gardening. Today I decided to start my flower beds. I was thinking about using more tree branches for my borders but then I had an apostrophe*- for some reason, there's a whole bunch of brick border on the side of my house where we store our junk, here:
And I figured it'd work jes fine for my flower beds which I want to put here:
It took me about a kajillion hours to dig it all up, but I did it!
And three hours later, this is what it looks like now:
I'm hoping to finish the rest this afternoon, but I'm running low on plastic forks and paper plates, so I figure I should probably wash some dishes today.
Once I finish getting the ground ready and putting my border in (I SUCK at straight lines, so that should be really entertaining), I want to plant sunflowers against the house and wildflowers in front of the sunflowers. I have gladioluses (gladioli?) for out front and I'll see what other more glamorous flowers I can find on sale once Jonah gives me some $$.
That's all for now!!
*apostrophe: what Jonah calls an "epiphany"
Wow. Awesome job thus far! Too funny but as you were hacking away at mother earth, I too was busy in my backyard unburying plants, creating borders - or not - , and dreaming about an extra large plant budget (not to mention the fantasy that one day my garden will weed itself). ;)
