My flowers are coming along.

Here are my tulips. The ones that survived the squirrels.

I had to fill in a few holes again, are my flower bed. Squirrels did more digging. 

And check out my Strawberry bed. It's thriving!

The tulip bulbs will planted last fall, came up. The squirrels did dig up a few. 

 I got these from Brecks.com

In these pots I planted everything with seeds. I have moss roses in these 3 pots. 

In the front of the house I have planted Petunia seeds. All 4 pots have different colors of petunias. 

             ————————

I had bulbs also planted in the 4 pots in the front with tulips. But they rotted out. I didn’t realize they needed sunlight. So I had to dig all those bulbs up from the 4 pots. 

The seeds are coming up nicely.

After talking with my dad, I found out that I can call Brecks and tell them which tulips, flowers didn’t come up. And the should send me some new ones.

My rotten bulbs

Showing little signs of life. 

I did add some of my compost a couple of weeks ago. The bottom of my compost bin was a nice shade of black gold. All the from last year. 

 I got a couple of buckets of alpaca poo to spread around. I though that the deer would not want to eat the flowers with that around. Seems to be working so far. I also spread some poo around my strawberry bed. Sure worked great last year.
