It took me awhile, but the new garden is finally weeded. When I first started this new flower bed, the biggest job was to dig up the existing sod and to shake all the soil off of it. Once that was finally done, I started transplanting from here and there and then watered, and watered, and watered some more. Of course I planted things during the hottest part of the summer....not the best idea I admit.


Now the biggest job is weeding. It always amazes me how quickly the weeds grow, especially in a newly cultivated garden. All the crab grass in my new garden certainly was making me crabby!

It feels like it was just yesterday that I was admiring the tulips in the garden, but it's already mid August. I've been enjoying a lovely summer off thanks to maternity leave. I've been busy taking care of my two kids, but I have found time to play in the garden. I added two new gardens this year and filled them by transplanting and dividing plants from the rest of the garden. I'll post photos soon.....after I weed them!
