it all starts with the dirt...

and what you have in the dirt...

cow manure will feed the flowers all summer...

then you have to decide what goes where...

leave plenty of room for growth...

don't forget to water when you are finished...

a wheel barrow within one...and I did get both of these from Rebecca...

the child one was several years ago...

and the big one last fall...

movable planters are good in case of drought...

which all the signs are there for one this summer...

they can be moved to shadier locations...

we have rain coming in later today...

we have a chance then all through the week...

it will make the weeds easier to pull this weekend...

and we are dry...

we missed almost all the rains that went through that became flood waters...
