My husband hates yard work. But for Mother’s Day he said he would work with me in the yard to freshen up our front flower beds. So my shade beds (that have challenged me for 3 years) got 8 varieties of Hasta and Hellebore. The sun beds are exploding with color and will only get better. I am so tickled with how everything turned out I just had to show it off.

LOL…last year we had sweet potato vines so it didn’t look “tidy” either. But it was beautiful.

The thing I am most excited for are the celosia to get big. Last year it got nearly 2.5 feet tall and just as wide. All those “little” plants will be an explosion of color.
