Time to plant the annuals!

Part of my mother's day gift was a flat of impatiens. I planted them early this morning, as it's supposed to be REALLY warm today (possibly breaking records) and to rain all day tomorrow.

I'm always amazed at how well impatiens do in our soil and shade. We can't get much else to grow.

Last year I didn't take pictures of the impatiens in their infancy, so I wanted to do it this year.

Here's my annual bed:

And I had a few extras, so I put them in front of my bulb bed:
