Today Andy and I went to one of my favorite places, Bennett Nurseries. We were hoping to find some veggies, but I guess it’s a bit early. So, we bought a bunch of seeds to start indoors and a few pretty plants. This year we are hoping to get our raised beds built and began laying out the garden. I want something that will be green year round, so we’ll use plenty of evergreens along the entire fencing (especially in the back, to block the entire alley from seeing in our house). I also am in love with succulents, so those will be primary. My favorite flowers are white, so that will be my starting color. Once we have a well established garden, I’ll add bits of color here and there.

When we got home we gathered all of the planters to decide who goes where. We started all of the seeds (veggies and herbs) except corn and sunflowers. I also planted the flowers we got into nice, big planters so they’ll have plenty of room for the season.
