NOTE:
I planted flowers in the planter box at the front entrance. Last summer, we had a problem keeping the flowers alive in that planter box. Sandy and I thought the problem was the quality of the dirt or insects. So before planting flowers today, I took out about 6-8” of dirt and replaced it with 12 bags of new potting soil. Also, I added fertilizer and insect control tablets to the soil. It was a back-breaker job, but hopefully it will solve our problem.  It turned out very nice and will look even better once the mulch goes in.
