I spent a lot of time this Spring out in my yard planting. Much of what I planted was bulbs and so they take a lot longer to come up. But we're starting to see some of the fruits of our labors.
Here's a sneak peek:
Daisies
Verbena
Creeping Phlox
Don Juan Climbing Rose
Mexican Feather Grass
A Canna Lilly I planted from a bulb
Tomato Plant
Zuchinni
Our seed-planted lawn
I call this my Dr. Seuss plant since these plants look like something right out of a Dr. Seuss book!Laren is working on a waterfall for the corner of our backyard, slowly but surely. My latest project is doing a bunch of drypack canning. I checked out the canner from the cannery and I'm canning kidney beans, flour, rice, potato pearls and sugar. Most of the sugar will go in buckets, but I will can some of it too. I'm also going to can some spaghetti.
I cannot believe the price of everything lately, including food! And when I was at the cannery they said they are having a price increase at the end of this month. I'm wondering if the costs of everything will just keep going up and stay up and never come back down?

Looks fantastic Kari!
Ooh, pretty! I'm impressed with all the work you guys do on your yard. We finally got our front flower bed cleaned out and planted, but we completely skipped over the vegetable garden this year. Your creeping phlox looks nice; I just planted some for the first time, so I hope it turns out as good as yours!
Wow! I am impressed that you know all the names and your yard looks so different from a year ago! I like the look of fort/house too. Did Laren build that? Where will the water fall go? That is quite ambitious!
It all looks wonderful!!!
Krista, that "fort" is the top of my kids swingset - it is attached to the swings, we just don't have the slide on it, yet! And no, Laren didn't build it.
The waterfall is in the back corner closest to the back door of the house, but along the back fence.
