Spring is here!!

Well the grass may still be brown, but look what has happened with the daffodil and crocus bulbs I planted in September!! I got a bit worried because I saw the leaves poking up out of the ground 3 weeks ago when it was 15 degrees outside, but evidently, it was no big deal. This little garden was a spur of the moment thing I did to try and make the dismal west side of my house look better. I think it worked! If I don't have to move this summer, I'm going to line the garden with some edger stones. Funny how I never could get grass to grow there but the bulbs had no problem.

It drives my mom crazy that I have such success with planting. She's convinced herself I neglect all my plants, and she's constantly nagging me about everything I've planted and if the plants are getting watered enough. I just don't feel the need to over-water everything (and kill it) like she does. I think my results speak for themselves anyway. Plus, I plant things that are "drought friendly". Drought friendly= low maintenance.
