Let the Digging Begin!

 Today began with an early morning Home Depot delivery.  One pallet of cement and sonic tubes and a second pallet with chain link and assorted fence parts.  Too big to fit in the driveway, he unloaded our pallets in the street.

Drove them down the driveway,

And positioned them where Paul directed - cement in the garage (rain predicted for tomorrow) and fence parts on the side of the garage.

While Paul staked and ran string along the proposed fence line, I began the front gardens.  The flower bed in the front yard is virtually impossible to keep weed free - so it is going.

The daisies have been potted for transplant at a later time and the curbing was removed.

With the front gardens, I tackled the smallest section first - between the porch and the garage.

With fabric and thick mulch base - may the weeds be few and far between!

The next section - full of bees and gnats.  So it took a bit longer since I had to keep walking away.

With the bushes trimmed and the weeds removed this area is ready for fabric and mulch.

The last (and largest ) section has only just begun to be weeded and trimmed.

Overall, I am happy with the progress.  It feels good to be digging and working without heavy lifting!  The curbing and four full barrels of yard debris were taken away.  Thank you Scott for letting us use your truck and helping with the "dump".

The plan - start digging for the posts and complete the front gardens - all weather dependent.

Word of the day - ineffable.  Meaning too great, beautiful or extreme to be fully expressed in words.  (My goal for the gardens!)
