My mom and I started to work in my yard on Sunday afternoon….then Monday morning…and then I finished it up this morning. It’s best to work in the yard at 6am since there is no direct sun yet!<\/p>\n

We planted impatients in the front and mom gave me an Aloe Vera plant from her yard:

She also took an old pot with something dead in it (lol I am NOT a gardner!) and put a jade and some Hens & Chicks in it. It now sits proudly on my front step:

Then in the backyard – ugh, what a job! We had a VERY overgrown area with Bermuda Grass at least 12 inches high. We dug it all out as well as some other plants to which I was not attached! However, we did keep the Lavendar bush – but we cut it back quite a bit – and some plant I bought two years ago that is finally growing. I wish I could remember what type of plant it is exactly! lol (again, not a gardner, remember? lol) We planted six strawberry plants, a lemon cucumber and three tomatoes. I probably put the tomatoes too close together – but I was worried that one or more might die and… frankly, I was running out of room!<\/p>\n

Here’s a couple of pics:
