Happy Saturday!
I cleaned up the backyard yesterday. 4 bags worth of dried leaves, crazy. Got myself 4 new peony plants last week and able to replanted 3 of them. Gotta clean up the yard more so that I can find a spot to replant the last pot. I truly hope this year we can finally put up the greenhouse. Been waiting since last year 😅
Happy to share that all the flowers I dug up from front yard and moved them to backyard, they are all coming back. Pretty stoked when I saw them growing out of the soil, yesterday. The one that I got rid off was the Delphinium. Beautiful, yes, but even I got sick touching it, can’t imagine my sons and esp. fur babies, touching them whenever they are in the backyard. So yah, I dug up Delphinium from front yard, and to the bin they went.
Anyhoo! Crinkles 😍
