How I spent my Memorial Day Weekend

It was a yard work weekend for me. Above you see the impatiens that I plant every year under the big tree in the front yard. I should have taken a "before" picture. . . I had to clear away the daffodils that were post-bloom and the weeds. After planting all 72 impatiens, I mulched the area.





Next I moved on to the oval shaped flower bed also in the front yard. It was overgrown with weeds and I had to cut back the daffodil leaves. One of my two burning bushes didn't survive the winter (or rather the deer) so I had to cut that out. I planted two shasta daisy plants where the old burning bush used to be, then mulched the area.

There are coneflowers, black-eyed susans, lambs ear, and a couple of other varieties here. In a few more weeks, this area will be alive with color.
