PLANTING

Let the work begin. It was a gorgeous day yesterday so it was time to work outside.
The kids have Cindy a gift certificate for our local nursery so we bought a plum tree and some shrubs. After finding out they do have a planting service but that it would be 3 months I knew it was going to be me again.
This will be my 5th time writing this on my Kindle. I keep losing the changes.
Well I removed the stone from the rectangle you see above. That took a long time but I got it done. Once done with that part I started to dig the hole for the tree. First I ran into something underground called a water muffler. Anyone know what that is? I figured it was there for a reason so I didn't disturb it. Instead I moved the hole over. It was a pain but once again I got it done.
After a break I dug holes for three shrubs and planted those in a different bed. I believe once we are done it will look nice.
I made sure the plants are getting plenty of water. I put something called a Treegator around the tree. It is a bladder that holds water and slowly releases it over a week. The shrubs are on our drip system so that is automatic.
In the rectangle I will plant perhaps 4 shrubs or perennials to sort of anchor the corners. Then I will  be putting mulch down to finish it off.
So we are getting close to being done in the front. In the back I have seeded a few bare spots.


We want to plant one more tree in our front yard. Once we buy it I will get it done.
