SPRING IS HERE! I'M FINALLY GETTING TO PLANT MY FLOWERS AND HERBS!

Here in Searcy, Arkansas it has rained so much that it has been impossible to plant. The ground is still very wet, but I have planted most of my flowers. I love impatients and cala lillys, and I found some pretty ones at Lowe's.

I recently added some extra landscaping and planted beautiful red "oncore" azaleas, they will bloom all year! I think landscaping adds so much to a home. My crepe myrtles are getting their leaves and they will bloom in June.

I love to cook with fresh herbs! Sunday I planted rosemary, basil, lemon balm, oregano, dill, parsley and cilantro. I planted them in several pots and I can't wait to cook delicious meals. If you have never grown your own herbs, try it. They are so easy to grow!

We toured a cute home last Wednesday, but it had nothing but weeds in the flower bed. If that was my listing I would have asked the seller to do some landscaping. It was a very small bed and they could have landscaped it for less than $100.00 It would make a world of difference in curb appeal.
