I started spring of 2008, with a shovel ,rake and wheel barrel. And last Friday I had  United Material  deliver 2 yards of road grade gravel  in the ally by the garage. My neighbor across the alley just shook his head , "Now what are you doing?"  he asked.  "I finished my new garden, and I am making a  dry creek bed/ path. "  I wheel barreled 6 load to the area and I came to the conclusion I am not as peppy as I once was.

 My next door neighbor boy was home with a friend and I asked him if he could finish my little project.It would have taken me 2 days to do what those boys did in a half an hour. It was 20 dollar well spent.

There is Quaking Ash-  Russin Olive-  Buffalo Berry - Currents-  Rasberrys- Vines and wild flowers. Everything in this area grows near a lake that Jim and I go  to every summer. These plants all spread and I am hoping fast. This side of the house is so hot , there hasn't been any shade  since a big ash blew done 30 years ago. We just used the area to park the boat and campers and Bubba the Bus.

I don't think I am going to tear up anymore sod. My gardens circles the house now. I can find a shading spot to sit on all for sides LOL.

I have alot of plants I want to try still, I am just going to wait till something needs to be replaced and fill in with a new varity. 

I still need to figure out what I want to do with those big cracks in the cement where the tin shed sat and I use for a patio now. I need a speddy -weedy tuff plant . OMG Jim said ,"well we could just jack hammer this out and put in a new patio"

 I looked at him as if he had two heads ...are you crazy ? End of dicussion. LOL He must have gotten to close to some one's  paint can at work.

 Happy Planting Kerryh1
