Building Flower Beds

Check out what I did today! Last spring my family was able to plant 9 gardenias, 1 azalea, and 7 rose bushes. Unfortunately, three of the nine gardenias didn't make it (and yes, I'm giving the stink eye to these two midget dogs across the street who like peeing on things). The azalea nearly died too because of a huge drought we had in the hottest part of the summer. Only a few parts of it are left (but the parts left are blooming! If blooms happen, there will be pictures).

So today we replaced the three gardenias, transplanted the azalea to a sunnier location, and planted a hydrangea in its place. There's another hydrangea earmarked for a spot by the deck, but we didnt make it that far.

But the biggest thing we accomplished today? We built the flowerbeds on the front of the house. Photos!

All that's left now is to fill in with the mulch, but the work force (me and the parents) got tired. 

That's all for now!
