Backyard & Side-yard Renovation Part 3: The Flower Beds

Well we are finally here, the last installment of the Backyard & Side-yard Renovation series! Today I'm going to show you what my husband and I have been up to these past few weeks...planting in our new flower beds! Like I mentioned before, we have two large flower beds - one in the front yard on the side of our house and one in the backyard on the same side of the house. The flower bed in the front yard hardly gets any sun so we decided on planting only flowers in that bed. The flower bed in the backyard gets midday sun, so we decided on only planting fruits and veggies in that bed. Plus, I've always wanted to grow my own vegetable garden and if it works out well enough maybe it will cut down on our grocery bill costs one day...we shall see!

I even had my niece Kaitlyn help me in the garden...we planted maybe three plants before she was tired and bored of it all. After planting a second flower she says to me, "Aunt Britty, are we done yet?"

Kaitlyn ready to start digging!
