my garden







a few weeks ago i planted a garden in my back yard. i put in some marigolds and celosias under the bird bath and then a row of pansies, marigolds and celosias in front of the fence. they were doing good until some slugs came in and destroyed the marigolds at the bird bath. i have had to go out every night with a flashlight and kill the darn things! so today i am going to go get some sluggo and try that. if that doesnt work then i'll have to rip up the marigolds and just plant celosias. which is okay, but i'd like to keep the pretty marigolds. i do have to give myself some credit though; going into this, i had NO idea what i was doing. i have no green thumb. maybe i should have asked my mom. she was a horticulture major in college! anyway... thought i would show you some pics that i took after i first planted them. i am going to put in some edging around the row of flowers to make it look more defined. it looks kind of plain and bland right now. pretty flowers, though. have a super day!
