garden dreams: before and during

here is a pic of our garden plots before our little makeover

a crazy pumpkin grew here

a cute lil ladybug from the past owners

i think i shall keep her

a strange looking wheel in the back corner

an ant hill in the plastic pot

and an overgrown sage brush

it smelled so good!

another hot mess 

look at this poor grass

so many bald spots

i plan on slowly ripping out those bushes

and putting in lily of the valley everywhere

a huge pile of old grass clippings

ewwwww

the garden plots after:
we "turned over" the soil
got rid of all the old plants
a fresh new start!

we planted some ranuculus 

hopefully they grow even with all this crazy cold weather we are having for Spring

hopefully in the coming months they will grow into these

ranunculus is one of my faves

one of the best cut flowers!
