MIL is visiting us for a few weeks (waiting for this bun in the oven to finish baking) and she decided to do a flower bed with the kids. They loved the project, but Wee-one didn't want to do the work of prepping the bed. Part way through we got brilliant and put up the pop-up so the sun wasn't so hot. I sat on the sidelines with my puffy feet up, but couldn't stand spectating any longer once the flowers were laid out for planting. I paid dearly for my foolishness of planting about a third of the bed, but it was nice to get into the dirt!

mixed in. |

After planting: snapdragons, gerbera daisies, african daisies,
dwarf marigolds, petunias, "fire plant," and something else
I don't recall the name of. |

Finished product--the kids ferreted out large rocks from
the yard to hold in the mulch. |
