Me Musing .

What a hoot!
A friend loaned me some garden magazines to look at over the weekend
and one article had these words . . .
The
front yard was the first to go . . .
the
lawn is on the verge of complete surrender!
And
that is soooooooo true here!
You
saw the September 5th post
of what the yard looked like after the rototilling adventure. Well,
this past week was one of raking, rocking and rolling (rocks into
place!). I hired a guy to help me with the big job of raking the
dirt/grass globs into mounds and then Eb smoothed the flat spots
out. The Orange Wheelbarrow was also called into duty on these jobs!
Pea gravel for walkways and
historic bricks for trim
Next came the black weed cloth,
placing of rocks
and bark
Looks
like Eb is doing all the work
and I only take photos!!!!!
The
mounds got a layer of manure and next will get a layer of cardboard,
a layer of soil/manure mixture and then probably straw for mulch.
By Springtime they will be ready to plant the lavender, yucca and
ornamental grasses.
One
side of the front yard done, now on to the other side . . . but
for now, some old-time rocking . . .
Until soon,
Che'usa
