Dismantling the Front Flower Beds.

 

Today Bryant and the kids (I did help lay some sod) tore up the front flower bed. We are simplifying our front yard. The strawberry patch idea was a failure. The grass and weeds in Texas go up under the ground and entangle everything. It is a pain to weed especially because strawberries grow the same way. So it became and weed and strawberry plant mess. 6 hedge plants were pulled out and hibiscus and a few other perennial plants Bryant came home with are being put in. Brady was so cute. They picked out all the flowers for me. He got to pick out an Easter Lily for me as well. He was with Bryant all day helping him. Garren took lots of dirt to the back yard and even Bailey did lots of shoveling. Thanks everyone for your hard work.
 
Bennett went to LDS Prom tonight. He was busy with all the last minute details and off he went to the Britch's house for pictures and dinner. So pictures will be posted soon. I enjoyed a quick trip to the store to get a last minute shirt to wear.


 
 Popsicles to cool off with. Put down lots of sod. In Texas the grass puts off shoots. No seed in this wonderful St. Augustine grass. Kids sat down on the grass and said nice grass. NOT. Go up north to sit on some nice grass.

Bryant was wonderful to make the bed for me and then to dismantle the bed for me. I know it was a pain to put in and take out but I appreciate his help. I thought it would work out but I think simple works better with our weed problem. Put some mulch and have a few perennials.
