Gardening - 6 weeks after last frost - planting

Doesn't look amazing yet but will shortly

    My second goal this week is the frist goal that I got done. It was to Plant the rest of my peppers and orka- I started to plant them but haven't gotten to finsh it.  I need to plant the front box. I want to plant these awesome pepper plants and tomato plants there. I also want to plant my orka there. (To be honest I love their flower and can't wait to see it bloom). While getting my orka out of the green house I saw lost of sunflowers and calendula. Therefore I decide to plant them in that bed too. I also bought red, white and blue petunias for that bed to show my patriotic side.

I can't wait to see the flowers blooming!

     This bed was a mess and short on dirt. I forgot to take a picture of it before. But it was a mess. It took 5 wheelbarrels of dirt and 4 wheelbarrels of mulch to fill up the box. I also filled up 2 wheelbarrow weeds. It was a long process. It took me 2 nights to finish it up. 

Can you find the tiny tomato and pepper?

     I know it doesn't look like a lot now, but in a few weeks it should look awesome! I can't wait to see my hard work pay off. 

Gardening - Volunteer Plants

2 out of the 25 sunflowers hiding in my lawn

     Have you ever had plants grow, somewhere you didn't plant them? I call them volunteer plants. I always seem to have one plant. This year it was sunflowers in my yard. 

     Okay I know your thinking, how did they get there. I have an answer for that. I feed the chicks a few times in the yard and they couldn't eat the sunflower seeds yet. So they got left there and grew. 

Chicks not eating all the food, that they were feed.

     I was so excited that they grow! But I didn't want them to go in the yard. They would have been mowed. Therefore I replant them in front of the garden fence. They will look so nice growing there and bring good bugs to my garden! 

     Have you ever had a plant just grow? Do you think that plant did better than the ones that you planted?

They will look better here!
