Terry does some gardening.

Yesterday afternoon, while I was starting work on the attic (mopre about that later) Terry started planting bulbs and mums.



Here she's counting out the speckled lilies for the holes she already dug.



These mums went in the spot once occupied by four zucchini plants. (Next year's zukes will go in one of the other beds I built this summer.)



The two white mums also went into the front bed but they flank a small shrub.

Terry also planted some daffodils in the beds to the right of where she is sitting. (Your right, not hers.)

One thing is certain, every planting bed, be it flowers or vegetables, will have a border of marigolds next summer. They last long and provide color, but they also emit an odor that is, apparently, repellent to rabbits and deer. I may even plant some around the roses.
