OH My Aching Back!

It all started out on Saturday morning - quite cool (around 38 degrees) but the sun was shining so out I went. I had the front bed to finish and I was determined to get it done. In the background is the rose bed -and now for the rest of the bed!
I am at the last bit of the weeding. Once this was done, it was a big chore to remove all the old bark and replace the weed barrier. The old stuff wasn't working, hence the weeding!My supervisor! He loves the yard and kept an eye on me. No slacking allowed with him! (Of course Rusty gets to just lie around - oh for the dog's life!)Weed barrier is down and new plants are in. I managed to salvage a lot of them and even divided the primroses so now there is a border. I hope they all make it! The last of the bark dust is down for the front. It's really nice and quite open. The plants will eventually fill in the area and it won't look so "young." On to the side yard and then the drip irrigation...maybe soon......hopefully so if the weather continues to hold...and so does my back!
