Still making progress.

All the new flower beds are planted and irrigated. I had to go to Home Depot, Pike, and three different Wal-Marts before I found a soaker hose and I think I got the last one in Gwinnett County. And I got a butterfly bush at Wal-Mart because I couldn't find one at Pike. An employee might have been able to show me where they were, but I saw only 4 employees - two girls who were too busy visiting to help a customer and a middle-aged couple that didn't appear to understand English. So I took my money elsewhere.

Anyway, the next step is mulching the beds - a relatively quick and easy job.
