Back in action: Gardening 101

Sorry for the lonnnnnnng break, guys. I have been a little overwhelmed with life lately, with job searching/trying to figure out my next move. Don't you feel that way sometimes?

Anyway, in the meantime hubs and I have been doing some work around the house and since it is getting warmer out, that involves planting! I honestly don't know much about landscaping at all but have recently came across a little tip for outdoor planters. {This very well be something that all of you already know and if so, sorry!}

The concept is called thrillers, fillers and spillers and it is basically just that. Choose a tall plant, normal flowers and a flowing vine and stick them all in one pot for a fool proof planter! I put together a couple on the back patio.









Aren't you glad spring is here?!

Spring has sprung!

Let me start by saying that gardening is not my forte. I love flowers but designing a flower bed is just something I know nothing about, but we do our best!

Since it has been so nice outside lately, Adam and I decided to replant some flowers in one of our flowerbeds this afternoon. Last year we planted annuals, but decided to plant perennials this year so we won't have to keep planting every year. (We do have some bushes and a tree that we planted last year that regrow, just wanted to switch the flowers over.)

Sass decided she would like to model for the garden shoot.



The bushes are starting to grow again, but still have a little ways to go.



We went with blues, purples and pinks. (Mostly because there was the best selection of those colors.)







We have 4 more flowerbeds full of lava rock that we haven't touched yet; but hey, you've got to start somewhere, right?
