My husband brought home his saw from work.  He had a wood blade and we used that cut down some small trees that I hadn't been able to pull out of the ground.  It was so exciting.   It totally made a difference in the bed.  So much cleaner now. 

It's strange to feel bad for cutting down small trees, but I do.  I wish I could gift them away but I had so many coming up everywhere that it wouldn't be possible.  I have been able to give a few of the bigger ones away though so that was good.

When I first started cleaning out the flower bed, it had been neglected for so long that the ground was covered with so many small trees that at first I actually thought it was ground cover.  That was a chore, pulling up tree after tree after tree.  The end result was worth it though.

I have just a few more things to plant this year.  I wonder if they will come up and bloom or just come up?  I am so new to gardening that I'm not versed in the ways of plants.  I do want to get the roots in the ground as I feel they'll definatly have a better chance in the ground then in baggies with dirt.  I guess we'll know soon.

Last night I also cleared out more of my Iris for a man at work.  He said he wanted some, so I brought him 2 full bags.  Funny thing is, it didn't really make a dent in the area I'm trying to clear out.  I'm trying hard though because I want to be able to get the garden site ready.  I think I have enough time to still plant a few more vegetables.  Better do some research.
