Flowers at Martha's
This summer Martha and I decided we should put a bunch of pretty flowers in her flowerbeds, so that's exactly what we did :) We had SO much fun picking out flowers at Home Depot, we had to get flowers in threes so that they would look good together in the beds. Colors were my favorite part! We found so many Bright colored flowers, that include (but are not limited to): lilies, daisies, geraniums, petunias, snap dragons, Johny Jump-Ups, marigolds, columbines, African daisies, and Many Many More!! It was SUCH a BLAST!! We were there for a couple of hours, filled 3 carts full of flowers and bought a Lot of dirt! :) :) That first night we planted the entire front bed by the tree, it was SO much fun! We didn't come in till about 11 or 11:30 so we were kneeling outside with a light attached to the tree because we had to make sure the bed looked perfect! :) (that night was weirder than you would have thought though, many Many cars drove by and then at like 10:30 about 30 teenagers just walked down the street laughing and being.. well, teenagers.... very strange). The bed by the climbing rose was a lot bigger, but we had SO much fun deciding where things would go and what colors would look together, we ended up putting the velvet looking purple petunias in the holes between the larger flowers because they added a beautiful contrast! :) I've honestly never planted a flowerbed before this and I was so grateful that Martha let me play such a big role in planting her flower beds :) I took A Lot of pictures, so I will post my favorites! :)
