But our front yard plants were growing out of control... something had to be done.
I borrowed my rents' clippers (or whatever they are called) and attempted to gain some control over the greenery in the bed in front of my house this morning. I went out to tackle the task. It started off well. I was on a mission and knew what I needed to do. Or so I thought... but once I began the snip, snip, snip of the branches and leaves growing over the bed's borders, I got lost.
How do you "form" a plant?
I am apparently completely lacking... but I attempted and at least got the majority of the plants growth back into the borders of the bed. See for yourself:

The major problem with this whole lacking a green thumb thing is that I really desire to have a garden that grows tomatoes (for my hubs), squash, zucchini, cucumbers, green peppers, and watermelon. It would rock to be able to pull those items (some of my favorite eats) from my own backyard and put them to good use one day. Hmmm.... maybe one day I will learn.

Looks great to me! Maybe we can figure the gardening thing out together....I want one, too, but have been scared to try :).
Look at you! You did great! Don't be scared--its actually kind of therapeutic, or at least it is for me. :) Seriously, if I can do it, you can do it. I don't really have a clue how to "garden" either. I'm just determined :)
