Flower beds!

Drum roll please....My flowerbeds are done! Jonathan & I went Friday night and picked out all the flowers. (After MUCH helpful advice from Kim Werner!) Anyway....then came the hard part. Planting them all. Somehow in my mind I was thinking it would take 2-3 hrs. I was outside for 7 HOURS!!!!! Yes, I am burnt to a crisp! Here are a few pics. (Disclaimer: I know it is far from perfect and even now when I look at it, I see different places I should have put things, or moved things over a few inches one way or the other, but it is not changing for a long while! :-)

Before





After





I know it looks a little empty right now, but the shrubs will grow so it will look more full later. Thank you so much Kim for all your advice! I have to admit I am quite proud of my accomplishment....my first flowerbed! :-)
