I put in brick trim around the above garden, dug out the tired soil and added fresh black earth mixed with peat moss and then I trimmed the periwinkle with scissors stem by stem and planted portulaca.
I ripped apart the circular rock garden from the front yard, hauled a metric ton of rocks to the back yard, reassembled the garden, filled it with fresh earth and planted a bleeding heart, flocks and some stuff I don't know the name of which is a perennial.
I edged this garden with brick and hauled a butt load of rocks to cover
the ground under the cedar to the right of the shed which I trimmed and
tied up because the winter had flattened it. I planted a bunch of pots
with lobelia, begonia, marigold and some basil in the larger pot. I
planted nasturtium in the window box
I edged this garden with brick, threw down fresh black soil and sowed
wild flower seed, trimmed back the lilac a lot, and planted more
nasturtium in the cement urn thingum. I got down on my hands and knees
and dug out a butt load of weeds on the lawn. Butt. Load. Then I
reseeded the lawn.
Not shown is an area where the hose is wound up and I put down and
leveled some flagstones that had to have weighed thirty pounds each at
the very least. Mud be gone under that damn hose, praise the Lord.
I planted cherry tomatoes in the pot behind the rock garden and scrubbed the bird bath and transplanted a hosta beside it.
On Friday I went to my ex's house and dug a new garden and transplanted my son
Justin's raspberry bushes and confiscated an antique phone for payment.
Stay tuned for the front yard transformation!
