This year we are really working on the backyard, and I’m excited, I get to plant a lot of plants. I’m working on a butterfly garden to go near the veggie garden. I hope we can attract some good bugs and keep the bad ones away from the tasty veggies.

We had great weather yesterday so the little kids and I ran to the store to get some flowering plants and mulch too. I needed to re-mulch the Hosta bed, and add new mulch to the new part of the garden. Dylan was happy to go along and help.

We came home with…

Two pretty Red Azalea bushes. I love those gorgeous blooms.

Two large cool green Hosta. One of my favorites.

We also planted two Lilac bushes. The scent is amazing. I hope they grow great big and strong.

We still have a long way to go, but we are off to a great start on this year’s garden.
