The Rock The Garden Project

We could have used you this weekend.  Seriously.  Whoever you are… if you have hands, feet – some amount of common sense (hell even Izzy can dig) and a brain bigger than the average pear… we could have used you.  We are trying to get the garden ready to be full-fledged-top-notched-awesom-ness, so in order to do that – we had to till up the existing garden and enhance it per a master plan (produced on a piece of paper at the coffee table).

The only thing we had planted at this point is potatoes, and we had a few broccoli plants left from the fall/winter batch of goodies.  So after plucking those badboys – the stage was set to till that thing up, mix in some plant friendly soil (organic of course) and lay some rock pathways to break up the massive size of the garden.

Flip Our Flowerbed

This past weekend we poured half a day into fixing the front flower bed located in the front of our house.  Actually this started back on New Year’s Eve when we spent a large amount of the day pulling grass out of the flower bed.  Then of course we didn’t get all the grass, so we hit it with some Roundup – and figured we needed to till it up anyhow.

That is where I come in two weeks ago and till the whole thing up, and we spent the rest of the day pulling grass out and finally leaving it to haunt us.  Shala did get the bulbs planted along one side, but the other side was just sitting there yelling at us…

“HELP ME!”
