Back Breaking Labor

Stacy decided that she wanted some color in front of the fence on the side of the house. We talked and we decided on Azaleas. After some talk and thought on the issue, I decided instead of just edgers around the bed it would be nice to build up the flower bed and use landscape timbers.... Yeah.. me and my bright ideas.

There was a pine tree very close to the 32' X 5' flower bed we were building so I had to take an axe and cut out some roots about as big around as my arm. We dup up, dug down, cleaned out 150 square feet. After adding 4 layers of landscaping timbers we were short on dirt so we got some from a local compost store.

Widening the Circle

On our days off Stacy and I have been working out in the yard on flower beds, bushes, trees, and adding color.

This group is the flower bed around the tree that we widened... by about a 3-4 foot ring. We also added concrete edgers and new plants. Some of the plants were day lillies, and Salvia (what i call purple rod because it looks like golden rod, only purple).
