I found out that the dwarf lilac's blooms last longer than the regular lilac bush. The two lilac bush at the side of our home is still in full bloom despite the heavy wind the other day. It really smells so good whenever we go out the door, the scent soothes your nose with it's fragrance.
During the first two weeks of Spring, I did some projects in the garden. I added some rocks on the other side of our walkway because it did not look balance that I just had it on one side. I removed the rocks around the crab apple tree to use in this project and I replaced it with mulch.
The mulch was on sale for the Easter weekend so we took the opportunity to buy 30 bags to put some more mulch around the flower beds. You can click here for a great deal on some of the gardening tools and plants. I also ordered some trees online because it is cheaper to buy it online than in the store.
I did however bought some dahlias to add some colors to our front porch.
I can't wait for the Asiatic and day lilies to bloom. I love these plants because they are very easy to grow and maintain and they come back every year. I basically started a couple of plants with them then I segregated and replanted them when they got thicker, now I have so many of them in the garden.
I can't wait to see the blooms of this pink roses in the middle of the lilacs.
The deer is starting to eat the burning bushes and hosta so I bought a bottle of deer repellent to scare the deer away.
I also put mulch around the emerald green pine trees to add a little pop of color to them.Burning bushes are beautiful during the Fall. I can't wait for them to get thicker so that we will have a pop of color too in the driveway when Autumn comes.
I have a thick Italian parsley in my herb garden so I thinned them out and transfer them to the pots. I have so many small pots that I can use for it and they seem to do well as well.
I love gardening, I can do it everyday all day. I have plenty of things to do around our garden but the rain and heavy wind is hindering me from doing what I want to accomplish. I still don't have a vegetable garden because I am waiting for the fence to be built before I finally decide where to put my vegetable garden. I don't want the deer to eat the veggies before they even begin to bloom. So that is it for now, I will update again next time when the fence is up and I did my veggie garden. Hopefully I still have the time to do it before the season ends.

You have beautiful garden Sis. The lilacs are beautiful. I super loved the white stones. You have a green thumb and so skillful.
Your plants are blooming and now the yard seems to look even better because of the flowers and the perennial plants you planted.
You have a beautiful flower garden! You've inspired me to get outdoors and get my garden ready for spring and summer.
Your plants are lovely! I was not blessed with a green thumb, but I'm determined to give it a shot this season. Wish me luck!
Lilacs are one of my favorites! I wish they stayed longer, though. Mine are already starting to die down :(
Everything looks so fantastic! I wish I could grow stuff without killing them. I already killed a flower that was in the front yard. Oops.
Wonderful looking land scanning. We always had a lilac bush right outside the kitchen window. I loved the smell while working in the kitchen so much I made sure to plant one when we built our house.
That looks absolutely beautiful. I live in the desert so it's hard to get stuff to stay green. I wish I could do it like that. You did a wonderful job.
This reminds me to buy some white stones and fix our small garden too. I hope I could do it soon. You have a nice garden out there.
Your flowers look so pretty! I love the smell of lilacs. I really like how you lined your walk.
I love doing fun projects to enhance the outside of my home! That rock pathway on the side of your walkway looks so cute and those dwarf lilac's are so charming.
Oh my goodness how beautiful does your garden look, I can't imagine having deer wandering around, we have foxes and hedgehogs but that's it.
I like the white rocks lining your walkway! That was a really nice idea. I still have to do a lot of work in our garden. Your plants are looking good!
I love gardening but not the weeding. The weeds are killing me right now right along with the allergies! The deer always eat my hostas!
I am not much of a garden I seem to kill everything except weeds lol. Loving your garden and the amazing flowers you have
Your garden looks beautiful We are just starting to get some blooms here. i am excited to get out and work in my garden this weekend
I grew up with lilacs in our yard. I've always adored them. I had no idea the dwarfs lasted longer!
You did a great job! I know the feeling of looking at your beautiful garden after doing some landscaping projects.
I love spring! Those plants are just lovely. I want my house to be like that with a garden.
You're quite the Green Thumb sis! I wish my hands can do such wonders. Seriously, when I do gardening, the plants never, ever thrive. Never. :)
Those flowers are so beautiful! I love colorful garden, so relaxing and calming!
I really love the look of the rocks on either side of the sidewalk! If we ever have a sidewalk like that I want to do the same!
You have lovely blooms in your garden, sis! I'm not much into flowers. All I have right now are veggies planted in pots. I have no luck with tomatoes, though.
