Landscaping


This area of my garden has not been so empty since I created the space many years ago.  Cutting down the huge pines really opened up this area.  It's sad that the trees had to go but it has given me a clean slate to start all over again. I have been pouring over books studying what I want to plant.

This raised bed will be fully planted and I have the seeds for the plants started under my grow lights. There is a lot of cleaning up to do first.

 

I took these pics so that I can compare the before and after when it is done.  I want to plant mostly perennials so it will take a few years for them to fill the space.


You can see how large the space is that I have to play with.  I definitely need to plant some pine trees again.

There is so much work to do!  I have to clean the potting shed.


And I have to find the right spot for this very heavy pair of mushrooms my daughter just bought for me.


I noticed the daffodils are coming up.


Oh, and today was grooming day.  The Blog Tech sure has his hands full.

 


This little boy weighs almost 100 lbs.. Willie, not The Blog Tech, though Willie is looking almost as big.

Good gawd, Blog Tech, don't give yourself a hernia!

Willie looks like he is cooperating about as much as a heavy piece of furniture -- or those mushrooms! Having a spaw day appears not to be one of his favorite pastimes.

The Blog Tech looks like he's carrying a Scottish ox! Oh and I LOVE that shed. I want one.

Blog Tech looks like he's saying "geeeeeeeeez..." LOL...you have a nice clean slate to grow in that area!!
I do like how that shed looks!

Lots of space to plant, a gardeners dream :-)

A storm passing by and it looks like we'll mostly get rain here even though it's snowing right now, I'm so glad Albin rather stays indoors when we have weather likie this :-) :-)

Willie is much bigger than he usually look in the photos :-) Beautiful boy!

Have a great day!

Christer.
