Planting, planting, planting!

Here's the before and after -- we got a hydrangea bush and used left over mulch to make this little corner area better than the eye-sore that it was.

We decided to add some flowers to the front of the house.  After talking for a couple years about getting a barrel and putting it up in the front corner, we finally got it together!  We put a gerber daisy and marigolds in the barrel.
Here's the front door step.  We planted the leftover marigolds, begonias, and another plant in pots and set them on the steps.  We have a rose bush (with mint growing all around it) that has been at the house for over 10 years.  It's getting ready to bloom for the 2nd time this year.
It was a busy day!  It took over 3 hours to get all this done.  We also planted red begonias by the bushes in the front flower bed.  Hopefully we can keep them alive! :)
