My eyes are larger than my physical capacity to do that much work

Turns out that doubling the space in the front garden is going to have to wait until next year. I did move all the rocks and remaining shrubs (amen) to the back driveway and put in new flowering bushes, shasta daisies, coneflowers and alyssum. That was quite enough work without doubling the size of the flower bed. Plus, I worked out how much I'd spent so far and I have $50 left for gardening. I think that's going to have to go to annuals to fill in the holes until the perennials get larger and the huge window basket and maybe some more cocoa bean mulch. Because it's so lovely and I might not have enough. Then I will spend the remainder of the summer watching the vegetables grow and weeding. Wow I love gardening. It's really difficult to not blow the budget and just keep planting. But I will be good. Things will grow in the next year and next year the perennials will look that much better. I can't wait!
