Gardening!

Ok, I have a little garden in the back yard. We have a two-tiered garden, and I get the bottom tier, and my father gets the top. He promised to clean his garden up a bit this year (he's been growing wildflowers, but they've really gotten out of control!) and I am hoping to have a bit more time to care for my garden.

So I was thinking that I can post pictures of the garden as I go. Today I spent 40 minutes cleaning my tier up - I have decided to start pretty much from scratch, only leaving my button flowers (I think that's what they're called) and my tiger lilies. I'm going to take pictures of the garden so I'll know what I planted for next year (I'm pretty sure I got rid of some pansies in my weeding frenzy, but I wasn't sure if they were pansies or daisies. I wanted to get rid of the daisies because they grow too tall for my garden). I'll post pictures here of what it looks like!

On a side note, as I said, I gardened for 40 minutes. My blood sugar was about 5.4 before I ate lunch, then I went outside and started weeding. Well, I finished and came in and I was 3.9! So I am reasonably sure this was exercise of some sort! Next time I'll have to do less insulin before going out!
