Yardwork

Yesterday was a gorgeous spring day to work outside! In the almost four years I've been in my townhouse, I have wanted a front yard full of beautiful flowers in the spring.  I always seemed to miss the season for planting the flowers I wanted (especially bulbs--still don't have any daffodils), or there just weren't enough hours of daylight.  I made up for it with a day off from work, a bunch of flowers from the hardware store, some Miracle Grow potting mix, and a small shovel.  Now I just need to figure out what to do with my backyard...

Replanted some of my "Grandpa Irises" and fertilized my potted plants
Red petunias in front with a line of yellow marigolds in front of purple kale
"Firecracker" plants in the back with my potted mums from the fall
My forlorn backyard with the poinsettia I've managed to keep alive for 4 months
