Planting

 
Hello, dear friends and family.  I finally worked on my front flower beds.  I yanked out the ancient, overgrown, nasty monkey grass which looked like two giant caterpillars and housed the largest grass spider I've ever seen in real life.  And ants.  So many ants. 

I planted lantana and nandina.  I've got some liriope coming from Mom tomorrow, and I have plans for coreopsis, sweet potato, and purple cone flower.  These are easy, drought/disease tolerant plants that should be hard for me to kill.  And that's important. 

Now, if I'll only remember to keep watering them.  I might have to put it in Google Calendar and schedule repeating reminders that show up in my email.  I have no problem remembering to get online.
