I'm sure my love of flowers comes from my parents. Ever since I can remember we have had a massive garden each summer and our house was surrounded by pretty flowers. One memory that I love is my sister and I planting marigolds in front of our building in the back yard each spring. It was fun to plant and watch them grow, even though I owe my parents a thanks for taking care of them after the initial planting.
This year, the planting and watering is all on me! I did have to call my parents for advice a couple times, but overall I did this mostly on my own. It was a little tricky finding flowers that worked since my backyard is mostly shade. Thanks to my cousins for the free plant rack and a Sunday morning with a can of spray paint, this problem was quickly remedied.
Enjoy the fruits of my labor. I can't wait to see how they grow this summer!
