- Back flowerbed is all weeded and has new layer of woodchips. Looks fabulous.
- Small front flowerbed is weeded, edged, seeded, and put down a layer of woodchips. It has never looked so good! We planted 75 new bulbs in and through the existing tulips and other plants. I have not idea what it going to look like but am so excited. I'll post pictures when I get new blooms.
- Large front flowerbed is crazy. There is so, so, so much to do. I figure if I just do a little every day it is warm outside, I might get done by August. :) Actually, today was a fabulous day. I was able to clean out all the weeds from the house to about three feet out. We laid down some weedblocker and dumped a thick layer of woodchips on top. I then went to town and bought 12 perennials/bushes to start filling it in. I am excited about them and can't wait until they get to be their regular size. I still need to clean out the rest of the grass/weeds and put down the liner but at least I have a start and some new plants to watch grow. I am hoping for better curb appeal. My house looks so boring from the street.
- We planted six tomatoes and four peppers. We have a GARDEN!! I know six plants is nothing compared to Pauline's amazing garden but it is better then last year when we did nada.
I still need to figure out what to do about the north side of the house and along the sidewalk but at least something has happened. Like I said before, when things start to grow and fill in, I'll post some pictures.
And now I need to take a shower and rest. I has been a LONG day.
