Oh I do love the signs of progress! The huge difference it has made in my front yard without the tree! wow! I love how bright and sunny it is. I have a great deal of gardening to do now that it is all open. I also need to get the dead city tree out. I was promised a September tree replacement, and it was on the condition that i dig around the old tree and remove plant material as well as getting the old big huge Catalpa tree down! Which I did.
The next phase of front garden will hopefully be to dig up all the plants, I did get a good start on removing them, then the demolition and inside the house plans needed to be made, waited, and stewed about and waited some more! The weeds got big, and the grass growing in the front garden is just plain ridiculous! i could not get grass to grow in the back yard where grass needed to be, but man have i got it in spades in the front Garden! that is just so wrong.
I need to figure out where things are, mark the bulbs that come up in the spring, and then start over! I do love the tall cup and saucer plant that was a gift from a Garden Gates open woman. I do love my purple sand cherry shrub, and it needs to be cut back in the spring, as does the Forsythia, I want the two shrubs to be trimmed to the same size, and then I will hopefully get to rework the front porch and get painting next spring and summer! so many projects so little time. The tree down was a big one.....as well as the back yard tree clean out! a few more and I may actually get to grow veggies back there! fabulous. So many future projects for 2011.
