Digging in the Dirt – Again

OK, so remember all those plants we put out front last Saturday? Today’s Saturday was spent ripping them all out and putting new ones in. Hooray!

At least part of the blame goes to the fact that the night we planted those flowers, we had a huge wind storm that actually broke at least one plant in half. Some might go to the fact that we skipped a day of watering in there during the week while my brain was in Blue Book Land. I’m also not sure the plants we bought from Lowe’s were of the highest quality. Today we went to a local nursery, and I’m telling you, those plants looked a heck of a lot healthier.

Now let’s see how they look a week from now.
