flowerbeds are hard work

Saturday, Dustin and I worked in my flowerbeds for about 9 hours. Who knew it was that much work? And, we aren't even finished yet. Luckily, the weather isn't cooperating, so we're getting a break!

Behind the Marigolds is some purple things my mom gave me, but they're barely poking through the ground so you can't see them in this picture.

We have to add a little something else in this area. Not sure what yet!


We are adding stones around this to match the other flowerbeds. All that monkey grass came from the flowerbeds up against the house and I didn't like it there. We have to get flowers or something here too.

This is probably the ONLY section that is finished! Whew, it's hard work!!

Well, what do you think??

hey! My first time stopping by your blog, but had to comment when I saw the garden :) My hubby and I just did our garden this weekend and it took soooooo LONG! I am so sore today, but the product looks nice. There are some pictures on my blog if you're interested. I'm also a teacher, but I teach K-4th grade students, and I teach ART, i love it ;)
