Update #4

Here we have the back yard. This area has changed so much :) I planted another type of lili that is beautiful. Next year when they all bloom I will have light pink and dark purple. My cana bulbs are taking over! They grow faster than any plant I have ever since in my life. The columbine that I though was dead isn't! Just a few days ago some new leaves popped up. Yeah!  

I've added quite a few pictures

of my impatiens because they are blooming 

like CRAZY! I think they are such a neat flower, they bloom very slowly. They have completely filled my basket. 

 Look at my tire! It is now overflowing with flowers! My red snapdragons finally bloomed and they look gorgeous. My pink petunias are going crazy. This was such a fun project and how it looks wonderful in my front yard. I will post a before picture below so you can see how much it's changed.

Early May, first picture I took. 

 This is another plant that has made some huge progress!

First picture taken....

 Oh hello :) 

More cana bulbs. 

Still waiting for my gladiolas to bloom......

 If you don't know him by now, this is Elvis. A REAL man likes geraniums.

3rd time is a charm

I moved my impatiens AGAIN :)

 Third time is truly a charm in this instance because they are finally blooming! 

The impatiens are still my hanging basket I just moved them to an area where they get early morning cool sun on the north side of the house. They were getting some hot afternoon sun so I used this left over fence panel scrap to block the sun in the evening. It looks really cute in my backyard! 

The impatiens are blooming more now than ever (right picture). 

Here is a close up of the begonias....begonia flowers mean "deep thoughts"

I took this right after I planted all of the flowers
in the tire....look at the progress! 

My tire is  filling  up quickly. As you can see my petunias are blooming
and my cana bulbs are  coming up in back (the big leafy ones). My snap dragons
have been slow to bloom but they have TONS of buds on them. I will make sure
to post some pics when they bloom :) 

We moved all of the veggies to the front of the house (faces south)
so they could get full sun. 

Here's Elvis, he is really filling out! Especially on bottom, the 

geraniums are taking off!  

Lastly we have the flower garden in the backyard. This poor thing! My dogs
seem to think that this is their digging ground which is why I have the little wood posts
all over the place. I'm really hoping that my gladiolas will bloom soon!
