Look!!! My Hosta's are here!! I know, I know, I've turned into a nerdy gardner. Well, at least I'm trying to make my yard a little prettier. Since we bought our house a few years ago I've started to love flowers, gardening, and well yard work. This time of year I get so excited to start planting my flower pots and garden. This weekend I was able to get quite a bit done. It is still a little early to plant annuals and such cause it can still freeze but at least some of my perennials have started to show. Saturday Nick mowed the lawn, fertilized it, and fixed the sprinklers. Thanks honey I love you!! Monday I really got a lot done. I planted a lilac bush, oh they smell so good when in bloom, plus they remind me of my grandma Helen. I fertilized all my shrubs, rose bushes, and planted some perennials and cold weather flowers. I have to laugh though, I ran to the store to grab a few items for dinner and on the way home had to stop at the flower stand right by my house and of course couldn't leave without buying some. Then once home I realized I needed some more garden soil to plant my new flowers so I handed Nick the food and was out the door again yelling I would be right back. I drove to J and L Garden Center down the street and well ended up being there for like an hour. I wanted to buy one of everything and had so much fun walking up and down the aisle's. Needless to say I walked in the door with garden soil and two large Astillbe flower pots/bulbs to plant. Nick just shook his head at me and laughed. He then sent me back outside to plant my flowers and he said he would make dinner. What a sweetie. Well you can see all the pictures of my hard work above...stay tuned for my vegetable garden.

I guess I'm a nerd too! Since we bought this new house, I've been really into my yard. I'm all excited to see my plants coming up and I can't wait to plant my planter boxes. You are so lucky to be in SLC, you get at least a two week jump on us up here! Plus, it's SNOWING today. Where is the spring?????
