Fathers Day Gift

So let me tell you how smart Amber is. Somehow Amber convinced me that I wanted plants for my Father's Day. What she knew and I later found out is that she was 9 moves ahead of me from the beginning. Knowing that once I did the work and planted a few it would turn into many, not because she wanted more but because I would.

Here we are 5 weekends later and finally a finished Fathers Day gift. We are very pleased with the results even though it cost me a lot more than a few plants in both time and money. We are extremely lucky to have a nice retired couple across the street who love gardening. They helped a lot and gave us many of their plants that were overgrowing.

Let us know what you think! : )

Way to go Amber! It looks terrific. I would attempt the same thing, but Jamie would not be on board for plants for Father's Day. Brad, you are one of a kind!
