gw vol 6

Our garden is starting to get in its "out of control" stage. I have banned weeding this year because everything is just being dug up and transplanted to different beds and different paths will be made. We are also turning the grass strip between the sidewalk and the road into a flower bed. So this year we are just mulching it really well and by next year it should have amazing soil for all kinds of fun plants and flowers.

Here are a few things popping up around the yard..

I started putting down the mulch on Sunday when K wasn't home (apparently I did it all wrong and now we have to do it again.) But here are some pictures of my hard work, prior to us raking it all up and then putting down cardboard over the entire spaces.

Here is my dad playing on his tractor in their back woods getting me a truck full of mulch:

Work in progress and dirty hands..

My work, until K got home and told me it wasn't done right and had to be done again!

And lastly.. I thought it was only fitting to wear this shirt while working:

Does anyone else have fun garden adventures? Or completely finish a project only to be told you sucked and did it wrong and it needs to done over?! Please share!! Until next week - happy gardening. And advice from the mister, "Do it right the first time"

I've been gardening up a storm!! Although now all I have to do is water and hope we don't get a cold snap. I think gardening is stresssssfulll! What if nothing grows? That's what I want to know.

it stinks because we had high hopes to have our transformation finished earlier so that we could have planted veggies this year. but our goal has changed to just getting it all laid out- all our flower gardens moved around and full on soil prep. then next year, everything will be all set for us to go ahead and plant. not exactly what we wanted to do- but you can only do so much when you have about 50 other projects going on at the same time and have to also work with NY wacky weather.

i saw a bit of your gardens and am envious!

I've been buying plants and pointing to where I want Tim to plant them for our front yard. Our grapevine has taken over its frame. We just throw mulch on stuff. Who knew it was so complicated.

hahah i love it "i have been POINTING to where I want Tim to plant them.." ah..Tim is such a good guy! Kevin is the gardening king here - he usually just pushes me out of the way, and when I do try to do something - I apparently do it wrong and then need to redo it all over again!
