In the garden: spring cleanup and planting

Well, I finally found time to get in the garden and clean things up to make room for all the new growth sprouting away in my yard. Every year I am amazed by the shear number of weeds that pop up EVERYWHERE. It seems like I never get ahead of them. Last Friday, I made some major headway and I think my front flower beds have never looked better. I still have a lot of work to do, but I see real progress here. Here's a couple shots I took two weeks ago of the flowers I bought and one of the planters I placed some of them in.
