Mother's Day Flowers

At our previous townhouse, it was a Mother's Day tradition to plant impatiens in the front yard.  Well, that custom continues in our new townhouse, since the front yard is on the shady north side.

Here's a shot of Julia, all ready to start the demolition.  There were a lot of weeds that needed to be pulled, and the dirt needed to be leveled.  (This picture was taken yesterday.)

 And here are the girls with the finished product.  It's hard to see, since the plants are still small, but we planted 18 impatiens - 6 each of red, pink and purple.  It won't be long before these plants will provide a pop of color in the front of our house.
