More Working It . . .

cell phone yellow cheer 

I stayed busy this past weekend

laying chocolate brown mulch

along the north side of our house

 

a few weeks ago I had laid a

cocoa bean mulch in one of the gardens

and then I was alerted to it being a danger to animals

 

the cocoa bean mulched garden

looked beautiful until the rains and humidity arrived

and now it is just a yucky slippery moldy mess

 

the weather is supposed to be rain free

and less humidity later this week

so out comes one mulch

and in goes another

and as I have stayed busy mulching
the landscaper crew says they are 
rained out

this is a very large area of pachysandra located in the front of the house

the pachysandra grows, spreads, grows and spreads some more
not the best picture but hopefully you can get the idea

early on I started filling the yard with many different ground covers

I love them until the oak leaves fall

 

this area at one time was filled with spirea bushes

quite tall, pretty when they would flower

last year I moved some of the bushes

and shaved the other bushes down

to be more even with the pachysandra

 

it really changed the look and created something very pleasant

lush green ground cover filled with pretty pink flowers

believe me, much prettier than the photo

I think tonight is going to be an all nighter

does that happen to you

when you are reading a good book

I am so bad

good book means nothing else gets done

really good read
