Our Garden Island

Cost: $32.00 + 3 bottles of iced tea
Time: ~ 6 hours



Keith and I brought home another addition to our dear little garden. We decided that it deserved its only little home in our yard. I wanted a "Paisley" shaped island so we drew the shape out by laying a hose down first.



Then Keith cut the shape out with a flat spade and then he tilled all the dirt/grass into pieces.



He raked it through and planted the tree where I liked it.



I went through and hand picked all the large clumps of grass out of it.



Then we added 6 bags of top soil.



Then on top of the top soil, we added a layer of peat moss to retain moisture.



Water thoroughly to keep the peat moss from blowing away. I transplanted some daffodils.



And added some other flowers and seeds.



Here it is from the other side. I started some poppy seeds here.



And we occasionally played with our neighbor's dog Teddy.



Keith also laid peat moss down around the house.



My hanging planters.



Ahhhhh Iced Tea!
