We have a bumper crop of giant dandelions.
Daddy had rented a tiller a little while ago and tilled up the whole patch along the front of the house. It needed a lot of work, to dig out all the clumps of grass and weeds. So we did that first, and that pretty much took a whole day.
We had planted some perennials, such as lilacs, verbena, hydrangeas, some daisies, lavendar and a rose bush, on Friday. Then on Saturday we planted about 150 annuals.
Everybody helped one way or another.
I made a mistake by purchasing this japanese red maple to go in front of the house, by the front door. The red of the tree blended in with the red of the brick, and it was awful. But we were blessed to have another spot on the other side of the walk, where we lost a pine tree. So Daddy hacked away at years of ivy build-up and planted our little maple tree.
It was so warm and lovely this weekend that the Gater was able to wear her flowery summer dress for the occasion.

That last picture is sooooo sweet.
We haven't put our annuals in yet but the perrenials are coming up all over the place.
In a couple of weeks we will get annuals and then mulch like crazy.
Yes! Mulch next! Hopefully we will continue to have this lovely gardening weather.
She is so cute, she seriously KILLS me. And that japanese red maple is very very pretty.
