The Varelas

We've gotten a lot of yard work done so far this weekend, and I'm proud of Jon for making our grass look so nice. With this last round of grass seed he put down in some patches yesterday, it'll be looking wonderful. We also got a new fern and potted it, and Jon bought some of the drip irrigation materials to put in some more places. Some of it requires taking up the brick in our patio, laying the tubing, then putting the brick back, so I'm very thankful he's willing to do that work since I'm not good at remembering to water all of our plants. The drip system is excellent for me (just turn on the faucet, let the system do its job, and remember to turn it off in 5 or 10 minutes. Saves water too). We're slowly but surely learning how to garden! Next on my list is transplanting our bougainvillea from where it is in the backyard to behind the fence in the alley by the garage. I think it looks messy where it is, and the plants in the alley were just annuals that died (white alyssum). This will be an interesting task, though, because I don't think bougainvillea takes kindly to being moved. We'll see.
