The Garden


The wife likes every thing to look nice and clean, so she works really hard to make sure that even I notice the effort and energy she puts in. Now that spring is coming it's time to start thinking about the Garden. Friday was a nice warm day so the wife and our enthusiastic gardening tenant (aka Torie) started to clean up the the areas around our house that have been reserved for plant life. They started by planting some summer bulbs and giving our "earthen canvas" a good coat of ecological primer (raking, rooting, etc.).
The spring flowers (planted last fall) are already coming out. Tulips, Daffodils and a variety of others are in their infancy.The main front garden we are pulling out the large green bush on the driveway side (not pictured) and planting a Holly tree with some other green fillers in the middle, not sure if we are going to grow grass or just keep the whole front filled with assorted foliage.

On Friday she planted Peonies , elephant ears and other summer flowers.
She is pulling out the large green bush and wants to plant a Hydrangeas(?). Leaving the small front for seasonal flowers.



I am not a gardener but the wife is trying hard to make it look as pretty as she possible can just like her!!!!!!!!! Any suggestions or ideas would be great.

a square garden plot for plants and flowers would be better and suitable for the housing condition.
