This is one of my flower beds. Before we bought our house last year, I'd never really done much gardening. I always wanted to, and thought I'd probably like it.
Last fall I dug out this bed (and a matching one on the other side of the sidewalk), tilled, put in the border, planted bulbs, and hoped for the best. As spring arrived, I anxiously watched for signs of life. I was not disappointed!
Over all I'm very pleased with my first year of gardening projects (most of which are not pictured here). None of them were perfect, but they all made me happy. I already have plans in place for this fall, next spring, and even the year after that! In a few years I should have a truly beautiful garden!
