Spring is here and with it comes the fun of gardening. I have enjoyed gardening in a container till date and for the first time get plant them directly in ground. Oh boy, is it a challenge!!!
The previous owners in an effort to reduce weeds have taken extreme steps, I tried digging the front yard and managed to dig out about 6 inches of just pebbles and this was below a 3 inches worth of wooden mulch and plastic weed smother cover. Trouble is none of this has been very effective. I have already had to mow down and pull out by hand trees of common mallow and crab grass.. back breaking work.. but for all right reasons, utterly enjoyable, what with having to stay indoor all the time due to Corona virus.
After all the weeding and digging I managed to plant 2 rows of flowering plant in front yard.. can't wait for them to root and grow and of course flower.
Managed to plant hydrangea, honey suckle, rose, snap dragon, 3 pink geraniums, lillium bulbs, 2 lavender, yellow African Daisy and purple osteospermum, pansy and Marigold
