I wish I could claim that I have a "green thumb" but really I have found with most things if you water enough, they will grow. Luckily that was the case with our front garden bed. Our front garden bed was rocks and dirt for the first two years we owned the house. The first year was full on construction and the second year we were still using the area as a pass-through for other projects. Finally at the end of last summer we got to plant some flowers. I was so excited to actually have some color in our yard but was worried about how everything would grow. I am happy to report a year later the garden bed is overflowing with beauty......
