I’ve been busy working on the outside of my house. Transforming my flower beds from drab brown overgrown with weeds to lush colors and green petals is one of my favorite things to do. This year has been even more rewarding since I did no gardening in the aftermath of last winter’s depression. By the time I was getting back to myself we were deep in the throes of drought and all I was able to plant were two of my containers.
This year I decided to make a bed along the south side of the house. Previously it was a cacophony of irises and weeds with no border and no design. Some of the irises had been planted by the previous owners and some were randomly planted by my father when we first moved here.
Pictures of the edged and planted bed to follow tomorrow.
