My cannas are finally sprouting flowers. It only took them 3 months to grow, but it was worth the wait. So yardwork is done for the summer. These flowers were the ONLY plants I planted this year since we spent the entire summer pulling weeds out of the backyard.
This is what they looked like before the flowers came up.
This entire space was covered in weeds that grew to be waste high. It took us 3 weeks to get them all out by hand! Then AC made this cute little pathway so we could get to the garden easily. Next year we will build a garden box to the left and grow some food! I want to cry knowing this will soon be covered in snow. Boo.
We also bought the kids a swingset complete with monkey bars, a slide, swings and a playhouse. They LOVE it. I love it. I'll post pictures after AC gets the roof put on it. We also spent another 3 weeks pulling weeds and clearing space to put the swingset.
Lys - I love your cannas! I remember how beautiful they were in Missy's yard when you were younger and I've always wanted to grow some. I think I'll plant them next year...thanks for the reminder!
