We built a flower bed under the deck last year, and have now finally gotten around to adding plantings in the bed. It stays shaded most of the day, so we picked out some lovely, shade loving plants. It was looking great and only lacked the top layer of mulch or rock, which we planned on adding the following weekend. Unfortunately, Lucy (our dog) did not agree with our selection of plants, so she did some editing. We had to replace some of the plants when we added the river rock layer on top, but since then Lucy has stayed out of the bed, and it looks great.
Ellie loved digging, watering, and getting dirty. She's usually a little
OC when it comes to getting dirty (she probably gets that from me), but she had a ball this day. I think having her own Dora gardening gloves may have helped her feel comfortable getting her hands dirty.
This is what Max did while the rest of the family planted.
Lately, Ellie is constantly asking to take pictures with the digital camera. So after we finished planting in the back yard, I was in the front yard cleaning while Jason was mowing the lawn, and to appease Ellie I let her have the camera for a few minutes. She took lots of wonderful pictures of her shoes, the grass, the bushes, and this nice picture of Lucy through the fence.
