Gardening-- Take 2

All of my hard work toiling in the flower bed almost turned to dust in the wind.  (I hope you're singing the Kansas song now)

However, after consulting with my friend/master gardener I think things are on the up and up.  She suggested a heavy dose of Miracle Grow... and planting a few model plants from Lowe's in hopes of offering the Home Depot plants a shining example of plant perfection.

After a 15 minute feeding of MG yesterday and adding more color and mulch today, the bed looks MUCH better... well, in my opinion!

Our new tree we (ok, Jesse) planted in the backyard--a Bradford Pear--in honor of JP and Erin
Shade-lovin' Impatiens in the corner
top-heavy violas
Quartz Scarlet Verbena
Big Blue Lily Turf

Yellowing Dogwood (above) and Golden Euonymus... whatever that means (below) These were both here when we bought the house... only they weren't trimmed and were overgrown with HUGE weeds! Ps- they're from Lowe's ;)


Gerbera Daisy--my FAVORITE! Yesterday it was flat on the ground.  It's looking much better today!!!

May Breeze Flox (one of Ted Keller's faves, haha) this is one of two exemplary Lowe's plants.  They're replacing the dead mums... not that we didn't believe that Jesus could bring the poor mums back from the dead. 
The final (for this weekend anyway!) product.  I <3 home improvement!


My Jess-Jess on the phone... imagine that!
