My growing garden.

I cannot believe how these plants have taken off! 
It was less then a year ago that I hauled a whole car top carrier filled with plants down from Michigan.  Thanks to my family who help support my crazy dreams I was given little bits of many different plants to bring home. 
At that point I had eleven very large holly bushes in front of my house.  They, even with drastic trimming, grew so large they covered half of my windows.  So in the Georgia august weather I ripped all the bushes out and began putting my poor little plants in there new home.  It is truly a wonder how any of them made it due to the length of time they spent in either little pots or a plastic pool filled with water.
Mom and Jim came over and help plant everything.  Soon after that most of the original plants died off but not before new growth started.
Recently I bought a few more new things and wanted to rearrange everything.  So my sweet neighbor came over and supported yet another one of my crazy ideas.  We dug everything up and replanted everything!
Things are still no where near what I envision them being. However, I have to say that these plants have grown more then I ever thought they would in less then a year and I am very pleased.
I cannot wait to see what they look like by the summers end.
