Yesterday I went to a couple nurseries to look for new plants, but ended up going to Lowe's. I got lots of things! I planted some new ground cover to fill space and some new flowering
perennials. I added lots of potting soil to the dirt this time, and spread mulch around the
box woods I planted earlier. I think it looks a lot better (see previous pictures!) but still very very amateur-
ish. My next door neighbor has a magnificent garden, with all types of flowers and trees, and a little pond with fish, and a picket-fenced area for vegetables. They have been living in the same house for 39 years though, so she has had lots of time to expand her garden. It is truely an art, and I cannot even express how measly my little garden is compared to it. I hope my plants thrive and look as nice some day though. I also bought some hydrangeas; I don't know where I will put those yet.... and a pink dogwood. I always wanted a dogwood in my own yard, since we had some in our yard in Fairview Heights.
