Maria and I planted five different gardens around the farmhouse in the last few weeks, and flowers are starting to come up. We put four flower holders on the porch to get things going, and dug up gardens and planted perennials, pansies and seeds. We see a lot of life coming up. We also added two Lilac bushes to the front of the farmhouse, a magnolia tree and last year, three maples. All of the are flowering and growing. More garden reports on the other gardens to come.
