Grandma’s Hoedown… (and I’m not talking the dance!)

The Hoedown begins...

When this Grandma talks about a Hoedown, she brings a shovel!

After my recent incredible Flower Haul at Lowe’s, the flowers were begging to dance in my soil… and Audrey’s 4 boys were more than happy to oblige with help.

(Boys. Dirt. Digging. Oh, de-doo-dah-day!)

Grab a plant. Single file. Promenade left at end of driveway!

Circle once. Circle twice. Prepare the soil. Nice, nice, nice!

 

Pass Thru the soil, Henry!

DoSaDONE!

There’s nothing quite like a summer day, a Grand Square (William, Alexander, Benjamin & Henry) of enthusiastic helpers, a trunkload of flowers and a job well done…

Day Lilies

Geraniums

Sunrays

Cascading Petunias

Pink Primrose

And a little surprise for Pop-up on the front stoop…

Pop-up's favorite vintage milk bottle carrier... filled with Geraniums!

So OK.  I know most Hoedowns don’t end like this…

But this Grandma’s do!

    So cute. Natalie was just over asking when we can pick the stuff in the garden. As soon as it grows baby, as soon as it grows. Lucky for me, leaf lettuce grows very quickly.
