My Little Green Thumb

Well I have been working on the garden and the yard a little more lately.

A few weeks ago I weeded the garden out really well and took out the old scalloped edgers to get ready to put in new pavers.

I have also fertalized the garden and yard along with laying new grass seed down to help boost our lawns ... meager appearance.

Ryan and I have working on removing the sod from along the front walk and transplant Hostas for a nice edging.

Since we have still been dropping into the mid 30's at night once in a while... planting my flower seeds was a little bit of a risk so I decided to bring them in this year.

So what do you think?! Did I do a good job? I am pretty excited... I think I did a pretty decent job for someone who doesnt really know a whole lot about gardening.

Looks like they're coming along just nicely. Hopefully it'll warm up for you soon so you can plant them.

Thanks Nicole!!!! I was hoping you would see this post... I have been so nervous as far as getting this whole garden going. I cant wait till the frost advisories are no longer an issue so I can plant them. Trust me I will be taking plenty of pictures to commemorate my very first garden! YAY!
