Last fall, I purchased a few bags of mixed daffodil bulbs at Lowe’s. I had a nice surprise the other morning when I learned that one of the mix is a beautiful double yellow daffy. I’m am going to have to search for the name, but here’s a look at it.
Yesterday was a busy day around here. We mowed and weed-whacked for the first time, and the yard looks so good. C & I are planning on finishing up the front yard landscaping. We planted 3 trees yesterday, one Granny Smith Apple, one Gala Apple, and one Kwanzan Cherry. I have grand plans for the rest. I plan on having 3 double red Knockout Roses in front of the garage, along with 5 Blue Star Junipers, and 2 more Helleri Hollies. Down our retaining wall, I hope to put 9 Compacta Hollies and 5 yellow Knockout roses. We also started laying edging around the front porch yesterday.
While we are on vacation this year, C & I are going to attempt to lay a paver path behind the garage to the deck. If this turns out well and is not totally back-breaking work, we are eventually going to make a paver sidewalk in the front yard from the driveway to the front porch. We will keep you updated on the progress. Right now, I think I need to take another Tylenol. I used muscles yesterday, that I hadn’t used in a LONG time!
