Well I’m baching it this weekend as Randy and Ethan took off to his Mom’s house for a visit and I had to work. I’m off on Sunday and plan on spending the day doing projects around the house that just don’t get done when I have a 3 year old hanging around.
I went on a shopping date last night with my friend Leanne after they left. We hit the mall and got some summer essentials at Zellers and Children’s Place (Don’t get me started on the smoking deals they have going on right now!) and we also went to Dunvegan Greenhouses here in GP. She wanted to get all her bedding plants and flowers for around her yard and I just wanted to get some planning done for mine. In the end I bought 4 perennials and a GORGEOUS hanging basket and made some plans for the rest of my yard. I need to do an overhaul on my flowerbeds as they were not at all successful last year. I’m buying shade loving plants this year, because that is what I have to work with, and hoping for better results then the dead plants I had two weeks after planting last year. I have booked my Lawn maintenance company to come over and work up my beds and I know I need to put some good stuff in them to help them along. I just need to figure out what it needs…
I’m also budgeting to do some stone work up front with paving stones etc. Based on the prices I’ve seen I won’t be doing it all this year but there is some that I would like to get done. I’ll take some before and afters to show it off!
Our lawn is taking off with the work we had done to it. Lawn 2 Lawn came and did a whole maintenance to it and then Randy and I overseeded it and threw down some Peat moss. It’s starting to take off and I’m hoping the back yard will come back to grass this year…if not then next year I’m hiring Lawn 2 Lawn to come in a re-do it. The front lawn is fine, it’s just the back that is crap.
Anyhow this post started off about my weekend alone and ended up being a narration of my gardening efforts….it’s what is on my mind lately! I can’t say it enough…I love summer!
