Spring Fever

We had an awesome weekend!!!! Saturday was warm and sunny. It was so nice to get out and work in moms "new" flower bed area. I got some more stuff started outside in Mini greenhouses and recycled starting containers. (plastic milk jugs and or soda containers this time around) and brought out my 2 new huge pots that I got on clearance for $7.oo at Home Depot. Gotta love last years stuff....lol I planted some arugala and Lettuce seeds in them. I cant wait. fresh from the garden salads are the best!! :) It was only supposed to be 65 but ended up getting up to 78. It was lovely. almost to hot because of the drastic change. lol but Sunday was scattered light rain. perfect for planting some bulbs and really wonderful temps again. I got moms flower beds all done except for her tiger lillys. which will be sometime next week hopefully. It is going to be so pretty when everything starts sprouting :) yesterday was cold and dreary. but today its supposed to be around 60 again and then 70s the rest of the week. ahhhh Its so nice. to bad it cant stay....but I will enjoy what i can get. I cant wait to start on her Butterfly garden. We have decided to how to move her butterfly bushes (they are just to intrusive against the house and next to the sidewalk) we are going to creat a circle garden were the top soil was dropped off a couple of years ago since its almost all gone now. It will be the first thing you see from the driveway and you can see it while sitting ion the porch. I am going to grade it all down. plant the 3 butterfly bushes and add some other plants for her hummingbirds and butterflys along with some sheperds rods to hold some extra bird and hummer feeders. I hope to add a birdbath and such to have her little bird paradice that we can see from the porch this summer :) I am really excited to do this project for her and I know she will just love it :) Of course this is helping me with my Spring Fever. I just cant wait to keep getting my hands dirty :)
