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!
