Planting on May 12, 2015

I decided to try something new.  First of all, I dug up the sick tulip and daffodil bulbs. After so many years, all that comes up are some green leaves.  Just ugly. Ironically, over at the SE side, near the Rowe's, lots of tulips come up. I never planted those, or I don't think I did.
So I planted some summer bulbs.
I planted a dahlia in the big pot next to the pine tree

Then I put another one in a random spot. The bulbs were from Walmart and really not worth the price. I don't know if any will come up. "You get what you pay for."

I planted 3 gladiolas in at the end of each of the side, rectangular pots in that pine tree garden. As well as the rest along the fence to the NE of the yard.

And then this one over in the NE corner garden. The soil is pretty thin there but thought I'd try.

I spent a lot of time clearing the pine tree garden from pine needles from the storm. I dug up soil as well, clearing out roots. Exhausting work. No wonder Fitness Pal has gardening burning a lot of calories.

I worked also in the front, along the walkway. I pulled out those ugly, non-flowery bulbs.  I put in a perennial daisy on the south side and two small lilies on the north side. 

The rose garden is a mess. There is so much grass right in the rose bushes themselves.  And the roses look just sick. Not sure what to do there.

And finally, I planted the seeds.  I "rotated crops" in that the carrots are now on the south side and the green beans near the sugar snaps on the north side. I planted spinach, lettuce and then decided to plant some zucchini seeds right at the front of the garden.

Okay, dream time:

1. get ride of rose garden or something, take it all apart

2. redo railroad ties in veggie garden and get new garden soil

3. NE garden....not sure what to do that.  That crazy non blooming poppy came up again.  need to pull it out. I don't see the poppies in the garden by the house doing anything. Bummer!  what happened there?
