Well, today my father offered to watch the girls while I ran out shopping so I headed up to Home Depot and bought another 2 rolls of landscapers edging to finish my bed project and I got 10 bags of mulch. I hope this will finish up the backyard.
I resisted the urge to purchase annuals. I just can't bring myself to buy them yet. I haven't 'planned' what to do about the containers on the deck. I don't want to just buy a bunch of pretty stuff and stick it together like I have in years past.
I'm tempted to put the raspberry and blueberry bushes I bought two years ago into containers and move them in to the house. I really wanted to grow them because my grandmother has a huge bush and she always let us pick them and eat them. I just thought the girls would enjoy doing that. So I planted them where I had the space... in a bed out by the shed. The problem is that the DEER love that bed and usually gobble anything out there right up. If I see any signs of life from the sticks that used to be bushes (and I expect to) I will replant them, otherwise they are a loss. You live and learn.
Tomorrow it will be warm and sunny. My oldest daughter is going on a overnight trip and my 3 year old is going to a carnaval. So the plan is to work in the yard all day with my little one. :) Sunday there will be more rain so I'll be painting inside.
That's the progress and that's the plan. :)
