I spent a majority of my time this weekend working in the garden and yard with my mom. It was hard work, but didn't feel like it because we had such a fun, relaxing time.
On Saturday, we started off by transplanting two trees to a sunnier area of the yard, adding some plants and finishing it off with mulch. Now it's a nice, peaceful corner of the yard.
Next, we headed over to Lowe's to pick up some plants, mulch and soil. After admiring all the different plants, laboring over which to choose and investigating the "plant hospital" section, we checked out, loaded up the car and headed back.

I found these in the "plant hospital" for only $1 and they're called Alternanthera Party Time. How cute! |
When we got back, we worked on preparing the soil for three big tubs that we put plants in. Three indeterminate tomatoes with basil went in those. Those tomatoes are called Lemon Boy, Sun Sugar and Yellow Pear.

I found an adorable dwarf snapdragon in the "plant hospital" that's in the upper right. |
I also got two tomato plants that are intended for small spaces. I wanted to try them out for when I eventually move out, so I can still be able to have some plants in whatever box I live in. They're called Patio and Sweet 'n' Neat.
We called it a day at this point for dinner.
Today, we resumed working by readying the soil for the vegetable garden. Then, we got all the plants that we picked up at Lowe's in and watered. The plants in the bed are chives, coriander, rosemary, parsley, thyme, basil, oregano, jalapeno, red pepper, yellow pepper and Bonnie Select tomatoes.
How did you spend your weekend?
