- I got the shade bed 90% weeded and about 1/2 of it mulched.
- I got all the chipped up leaves transferred to the '10 bin (compost bin for this years' leaves)
- the last-or, shall I say, current-batch of sticks bundled up for recycle.
- got the last logs of wood moved from pruning/culling trees over the raised beds.
- cleaned out the leaves from the sidewalk bed.
- planted the physocarpus shrubs along the driveway.
- planted the last bag of bulbs in the ribbon bed alongside the sidewalk
- gathered up all the plastic containers for recycle day.
- got the grass mowed on the 2nd level-looks really nice except for the pigpath that the gurls have carved into it!
- stopped our rickety, temporary outdoor kitchen counter from wobbling.
- replaced the door stop on the sliding glass door in the hot tub room.
- cut back the russian sage, the grasses, and caryopteris in the front.
Since I was in rehab mode for this area, I decided to pull out the ivy from the steps and re-plant the treds with dwarf mondo grass. Hopefully this plant will fill out better and faster than the ivy-which was quite dissappointing, I must say.
And, the best work of the whole weekend? A New Gas Grill!
We were too impatient to wait for the store to put it together, so, after a solid two hours of assembly, we are happy to announce that we can actually cook on this thing!
I will post some images later, when I have more time. Also, check out my new blog page : Image of my Father"
