our little plot of land

The boys and I spent 2 1/2 hours outside this morning. Digging, weeding, planting. There is something about taking nothing and creating something. We are still in the beginning stages of our landscaping but we have a vision and when its all done it will be amazing and exactly what we wanted - down to the last plant. It might take us 15 years too :)

My hired help...
Our garden beds...just waiting for the heat.
I want to have a nice perennial garden that comes back year after year, just like my Grandma Irene's garden at the lake. Right now its pretty barren looking but I planted a bunch of seeds for now. They are sprouting slowly.

We had to replace a couple trees.
Fruit!!! It was devastating to pluck off about 30 peaches and pears but we really want the trees to spend their energy on rooting this year so they are healthier in the future. We did leave about 5 on each tree.

Blast the wind! We have had an unusually cold spring. Normally I'm not begging for the heat but we need it! You cant tell in the picture but the wind was going about 50 miles and hour.

Be sure to look at the previous post....I'm doing a giveaway for one of YOU :)
