A trenching we will go!
Category: my gargen pictorial | Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 4:20 pm Sunday dawned a beautiful day that provided a wonderful opportunity to spend time working in the garden. My husband went to Lowe's and took the kids with him, which allowed me to begin trenching out the garden beds for the mulch that I hope to have delivered this Friday if DH can take the day off. We will get four yards of mulch. We have a tractor with a front-end loader. Honestly, the thing scares the he!! out of me, so I leave the driving to him. Someday I'll learn how to use it (I used to drive our tractor when I was a kid, but that was a looooooong time ago!) but while we have little kids, someone has to watch the kids so that they don't get underfoot, and I'm just as happy to do that. Here is a before picture of the main garden 
and an after picture. You can see in the foreground where I've started digging out the grass to expand the garden. 
Here's the iris bed before 
and after. 
And now that I don't have to be jealous of those already getting flowers, here's two of my soon-to-be-bloomers: 
I still have three mulch beds in the front yard to do before we get the mulch delivered. We are supposed to have good weather the rest of the week, but dip back down into the 40's next week :( That's all for now. I'm hoping to get outside this afternoon to take more shots. Unfortunately, we got a new computer last year and for some reason, our digital camera will not work with the new computer. I've tried to fix it, and I know nothing about computers. DH has tried to fix it, and he does know about computers. So until we figure it out, we have to download the pictures to the old computer in the basement, move them to a flash drive, then put them onto the new computer. After that, it's edit, resize, upload. Whew. A lot of work to post a picture. That's why it takes me a while to post pictures I took a few days ago! I ordered three "Lemon Queen Heliantus" from Brecks. Since I'm a frugal gardener, I took them up on their $25 free gift certificate and purchased a plant that would bloom the longest: early summer to frost. So many of their bulbs need to be lifted for my zone (5). I think the yellow will look good in the garden. Any comments on Breck's products? I'll be back later! Thanks for reading.

What a lot of work. I'm with you, I would rather stay far away from big machinery like that.
Looks as though you've been busy!!! You must take more piccies for us when your flowers bloom.
You do great work!
When you finish at ZuZu's come to Louisiana and do my yard
Toni, the tree is a smoke bush. I'll take pictures when it blooms. It's really pretty.
