Work in Progress

Well, after digging up all that dirt and all those weeds, we began the process of re-planting the area. I hauled many many boxes of dirt to an undisclosed location (ditch across the street) and we still had a ton of rocks and just unusable dirt. We bought this tarp thing that you use to block out weeds and other unwanted plants and laid that down over the rocks. Then we used all the leftover dirt we had and then bought some more to cover it. The brown border we got on clearance, they were 9 for a dollar, so that worked out very well for us. Thanks to some wedding guests we have the nice solar lighting as well. Christine planted that bird of paradise looking plant and a whole lot of perennials, such as pansies and wild country. I have no idea what they look like either but we will post pictures as they grow.

Yes we watch too much HGTV. We also watch too much Food Network, you should see how well we are eating this month!

It looks terrific and very homey. You really have made a difference and we can't wait to see how the flowers bloom.

Well! You two are really getting down to the nitty gritty with your gardening. How are your knee's feeling? How are all those sore muscles? You have the weather for all those beautiful tropical plants and a Bird of Paradise is such a good choice. The flowers last for a long time too. You gave the house a $50,000 upgrade. I love the color they painted the house. It looks so warm and cozy.
