We spent this weekend trying to wrangle a small cast-legged child in the backyard while doing landscaping/gardening.
The fence line was starting to look pretty bad so I weeded, turned over all the soil, removed a bunch of soil, put new mulch over newspaper, and relocated some orphaned plants from the front yard.
Marc had to dig out about 3 feet of clay under his vine supports and swap it with good soil from the other side of the yard (which will be a pathway). He said he felt like he was digging his own grave, so we better get some tasty tomatoes!
Then he planted some rosemary in the "rock garden" area. And here is another shot of the cleaned up fence line. I still have to turn the corner into the parking area, and do the area beyond the gate. Ugh.
I thought I had bulked-up arms last year with all the wheelbarrow work, but this year might challenge them!
Hope you had a good and productive weekend too!

Good job buff lady! :) I love love love the vine supports.
ReplyDeleteAnd we got lots of cabinet stuff done this weekend, seems like it was a great weekend for everyone! :)
It looks so good. Way to use materials that will break down and feed the soil!
