Winter Yard Work

 Now is the time of year to begin getting things ready for next spring and summer.

This year we have undertaken a big project building raised beds to convert areas where grass doesn’t grow to flower gardens.  So far we have built fifteen beds for bulbs, perennials and annual flowers.

Here is Trish just finishing laying out 160 mixed daffodil bulbs in a bed that will follow the daffodils with summer annuals.

Our neighbor, Monroe, brought us a whole dump-truck load of black topsoil from the mainland for building these beds.  Guess how the dirt got hauled to its final locations?

Some of this dirt will soon cover these 250 tulip bulbs that face our street.

We are having a great time remodeling the yard and looking forward to what we see in the springtime.
