The Little Professors: Garden Update

Its been awhile since we've given an update of our flower garden. Since our last update, we've lost a few plants, removed some, and finally found a place to plant our left over sunflower seeds!

Bulbs

Along with our Zinnia plants, the first items we planted were bulbs. Here is a shot of the bag

In our last update they were just starting to poke through

Here they are now. Masha' Allah

We split the bag of bulbs between the Professors garden, and a few other locations on the lawn, so it will be interesting to see which bulbs grow here insha' Allah.

As I mentioned, unfortunately, we lost our yellow zinnia, and the red one looks to be on its last bloom.

We also had to cut down our roses, though those seem to grow like weeds, and another one is already sprouting Masha' Allah, and we lost a hanging plant.

Garden Makeover

We did a mini makeover on the flower garden this morning. We started by removing these Hosta's as they were attracting some sort of animal, our guess is a Vol, since we had problems with them in our backyard a few years ago, and Vol's are attracted to Hosta's.

Before

After

While I was doing that the Professors were watering, and I was able to snap a quick shot of Professor #1 helping out. Masha' Allah.

With the Hostas gone, we found the perfect place for our left over sunflower seeds! Alhumdullilah! At this point Professor #1 and #2 had begun busying themselves with sidewalk chalk and bubbles, however, Professor #3 really seemed eager to help me plant the seeds. Masha' Allah, he helped me by digging up some extra dirt around one of our bushes, and putting it on the seeds. He also helped me scoop the potting soil to mix in, and helped me water! Insha' Allah, here is our new sunflower patch
