I watched the daughters of a friend today for a few hours. I think that Alex and Daniel now have girlfriends.
It was a gorgeous day, they played outside for hours, got filthy dirty, and had a great time. While they were playing, I totally designed (in my head) a flower bed that would look perfect at the back of the house - I just need to do some research into what grows well in almost total shade and find some cheap dirt to make it a raised flowerbed. Yet another project to keep me busy in my spare time.
So now, I'm working on some sewing - trying to get the last few bags done before the craft show next Saturday - but at the same time, I'm going to sit down on the couch to work on them and attempt to watch all of "Gone With the Wind". Yep, all 4 hours of it.
And yes, when I get all of the bags done, I'll post pictures of them. They're coming out really cute. :)
Impatiens grow pretty well in shady places. They get a slow start, then finally get very full and spread. I researched it, too, but that's about all I found. Better luck to you, Amy! LOL

Oooooohhhhh they do, don't they? I have so many ideas for this flower bed, which is really funny because I'm only renting, but still....I want the place to look nice, you know? LOL
ReplyDeleteI gotta' get some sleep. I can't believe it took me 40 years to watch "Gone With the Wind".
And I have to be up in a few hours for church and the CROP Walk. Oops.

Gone With the Wind is worth losing sleep! Did you love it?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking...(scary)...ask Casey what plants grow well in the shade. He will know.
I got a flat of 48 impatiens plants which I planted in clumps of 5 for about $15, so that part wasn't too bad. Got them at a nursery.
Gardening is therapeutic, even if you ARE renting. I say go for it. :)

I did love it, Katie!
ReplyDeleteAnd I was actually thinking the same thing about asking Casey - LOL. Great minds, huh?
