Soil is Good for the Soul


Well, what started as a great idea almost ended in a typical Paige-kind-of-melt-down at Home Depot. After Mom helped me pick out some good stuff on Saturday night, I had to return to the dreaded Home Depot on Sunday with Jake. Why, on earth, we went to Home Depot I will never understand, nor will I return. My promise from here on out is to Lowe's, Knox Seed or Plants and More!

After the break down at Home Depot because they were out of the flower to the left, I ended up with two of the flower to the right. (Pictured below) As I begin this gardening adventure I promise I will eventually learn names of all these beautiful plants!  So having two different plants, thank the Lord, worked in our favor!




And now I officially feel like my mother as I talk to my plants daily now, "Grow little baby plants, grow! You look so pretty! Grow big and strong!"

So since my camera phone doesn't have the panoramic option... here are pictures of the front flower bed! It looks a little brown, hopefully in future pictures you will be able to see my little white Begonias, bloomed Day Lillies and whatever those red things are :)




More later on the new garden in the back yard!
