Gardening

I was not blessed with my mother's green thumb. I have a few house plants that I have managed to keep alive over the years, but when it comes to a garden, I have no idea what to do. Last fall, I bought a bunch of bulbs and my mom was so nice to come over a plant them. Now we have a lovely garden full of color. We also planted some rose bushes (thanks mom!) that will help fill in the rest of the rose bushes. I have a planter that has just been sitting empty on my porch, and yesterday I decided to fill it up. It looks so nice now! Maybe I will catch the gardening bug, and with a little (or a lot) of help from my mom, I can have some nice flower beds someday. We also had an ant problem yesterday. Daniel pulled up a weed and along with it came an entire ant colony. The last picture shows Daniel's solution for getting rid of the ants.
