Sad Realization...

So after working in the garden yesterday (which it is pouring as we speak) and going to the botanical gardens the day before, I have a confession! Remember way back when Anthony and I began digging up and cleaning out the now garden beds, well it turns out that we dug up entire huge bed of Iris', yes I am sure that there are some of you with tears in your eyes as you read, but its true. To confirm our thoughts, yesterday our neighbor came over and was talking with us about the garden. He then says, "Well the previous tenant had the most beautiful rose and flower garden." I cringed to hear this as Anthony and I have spent hours ripping 'stuff' out of these beds! When we were clearing the bed against the garage there were these tuber/bulbs like things that were everywhere, I remember cursing there existence! OOPS! So here is a look back at what the bed looked like!

And now a couple months later this is what it looks like!

So after all the work we did yesterday, I was feeling quite good about myself! Here I had moved into the city and created my own little garden. I have put alot into the ground and continue to do so. Here I thought, I had ripped a bunch of weeds out and put in something useful! However, it turns out I pulled out someone elses hard work and put in my own. Below are pictures of the beautiful Iris' that were at the botanical garden. Enjoy, while I wallow in my sorrow that I ripped up and killed all these beautiful flowers!
