Yesterday after work I rushed home, threw dinner in the pot (Tortilla Soup recipe coming later this week), and got to planting!!
This is what I started with. I had Vincas and Impatients to plant in this bed next to our back porch.
I meant to take another picture after I put the mulch down but I totally forgot. In a month or so the Vincas will drop seeds and spread throughout the bed. My father-in-law has pots full of them!
Up close shots. The first is the Vinca and the second is a cluster of Impatients. I love the Double Impatients more because they are a fuller flower but this year I couldn’t find any. 
Sunday when we were at Lowe’s Adam bought cedar boards to make a trellis. I had envisioned something just rectangular with cross pieces. Well when I got home yesterday I found out that he had been working hard on this BEAUTY! Isn’t it GREAT!?! It looks small in this picture but it’s actually 8ft tall!!! I can’t wait for the roses to grow and just overtake it! The two rose bushes next to the climbing rose are called Double Knockouts. Very pretty!!
I’m pretty excited about my roses. I have been wanting a rose bush for the past 5 years!! I just love spring and new things. There’s nothing better than cleaning up, getting reorganized, and adding a little color to your life. :)
