We decided to plant some flowers in our front yard flower beds. When we bought our house, one plus was that the yard was already put in. Of course, there are some things we would like to change, but we are going about it one thing at a time. There are also some bushes and plants we would like to remove from the yard too, but we just decided to leave them this year and see how it goes.
Planting flowers.
Kendrick thought it was fun--he just wanted to play in the dirt, though.
He also wanted to use the shovels.
Well, we got them all planted and also planted some flowers in our flower pots. But, we learned that we were not watering the flower pots enough. The ones in the front of the house were looking terrible and the one on the back porch looked great! It was the afternoon sun on the front ones that was killing them. So, I started watering more and also fertilizing more.
Our flowers in the flower beds weren't doing too well either. We figured out that we had a few sprinklers that were not working and so there were spots that were not getting water. So, we adjusted the sprinklers and most of the plants bounced back to life!
Next year we will learn better about what to plant in the pots too. I think we planted the wrong combination of flowers or something.
Oh well, the yard is a work in progress. It definitely looks better than it did.
