Time to play in the dirt

Last April, Todd and I lovingly put in gladioli bulbs in our garden and got pretty sad results. The whole process was pretty anti-climatic. Here's what happened. We planted bulbs in ground and watered said bulbs for months. One hot day in July bulbs popped up, bloomed and then bulbs died a day and a half later. Ta-da. It was a lot of work for very little pay off so this year we are going for instant gratification and buying plants at Home Depot. We also purchased a firepit last fall so we plan to set up a little seating area to enjoy a fire. Yes, we've been watching WAY too much HGTV.

Our Home Depot haul.

Cute hubs putting together our fire pit

Gardin de Coyay after. Much better.

Anyone want to come over?

Our little seating area and yes Mom, we have a fire extinguisher. :)
