Sounds like you are almost there, Naomi. Your photos sure make me anxious to see more blooms from my fall planting. The daffodils and hyacinths are so pretty.
Spring is such a lovely time.
And I do love all the descriptions you came up with. Stop in and check out my article on Ritzville. And thanks also for your nice comments about my article. We've only spent one full afternoon on our backyard fenceline flower bed, and got it about half finished. The cost of watering can definitely be a deterrent for you, and if you're on a domestic system that makes it even harder.
