gutting

So Yesterday I pretty much gutted my flower bed and today I'm paying for it. I thought my back would be the sorest but it is definitely my hamstrings. Like I posted earlier for my birthday we kind of did some planning and drawing out of my flower beads. I also bought those plant's on my birthday and still had not planted them. They were starting to struggle and I hope they make it. Anyway I'm not accustom to doing that much manual labor and I'm not sure my body liked it. I got all but One of my shrubs planted. I found some large pots at Wal-mart for 1.75 and so I planted them all in beds to that it will be easier to move them around and take them with me when we move.My poor bed looks empty know and I'm not sure I'll be able to restrain myself from getting a few of the perennials that I want in their for next year like my black eyed susans. I may order some lily's to plant to. I also pulled out a lot of my daffodils and tulips to replant in a more strategic place. I'm determined to have a gorgeous bed next year. I said that about this year and it was truly disastrous. I really need to figure out a better watering system. I also have found some more good information on growing plants from seed and will try my luck at that again this winter. My tomato s have done well along with my lavender and portulaca. I think I'm going to try a few more veggies next year and still to annuals for flowers. we'll see. I'm going to get a shop light and not do the pellet this this winter.

Sounds like a lot of work, I hope you are enjoying it. You grow tomatoes?

We are impressed with your growing through the winter. I'm sure your flower bed will turn out great. It sounds like you have a nice variety.
