When we moved here the front lawn had two spots where there was no grass -- only a few reluctant weeds gasping in the dust. I decided to dig those areas up, repair the soil and plant lovely flowers. It took a few years but those two territories are now flourishing. Plants grow there. Flowers bloom. When you dig into the soil and touch it with your hand it feels soft and pleasing.
That left a gap between the two areas -- a kind of prairie of untamed grass as it were. I called it the manifest destiny project. Someday I would join the civilized territories and rule over a great garden. Mua hahahaha.
Last night I conquered a bit of that prairie thanks to my birthday present from my angel. I planted a bunch of (soon to be?) gorgeous perennials full of colour.
