Been a little busy….

…lately….
 
TheGreatWall is returning!!!
 
Time to move all those landscaping blocks back to where they belong…
IMG_3604…One morning’s worth of work…
 
I did all that?
…. Day-um…
            I’m good at this landscaping stuff…
 
…I guess it’s true what they say about planning things out beforehand…
 
One afternoon’s worth of work….IMG_3605
…I surprise myself,sometimes….
 

This raised bed will go up another row.The dirt …yucky contractor dirt…will be removed,and new soil and compost brought in.There will be another raised planter above this one,filled with the new sun loving Hostas.The raised bed,just below it,will be filled with Giant Liriope,and some of the self-seeded Guaras that I potted up.

There will be a pathway in front of the lower bed.For access to the new raised beds,and to the lowest level of the garden.To the very right,almost out of view,there is a palm that was relocated to the highest level.

 

Prepping for the new steps…

The steps will be larger and more sweeping.The Giant Liriope and Cinnamon Ferns still need to be removed and relocated.All of the pathways in the garden are going to be raised,to meet the new,higher level of the yard.

 

….I think I’m gonna be busy for quite awhile…..


….It just would be nice if certain people weren’t frolicking in the pool when someone else is working so hard….

It looks like you've got your work cut out for you, but I know you're going to enjoy the creative process. Looking forward to seeing the after pics.

As much as I love gardening, I'm not so sure I wouldn't also be in the pool. It looks so inviting. You're doing a beautiful remodel.

You amaze me, Chris! So much work with those stones... now is the time though. I know it's going to be great!

Chris: You sure have been busy! I just finished a garden project myself (will post soon, quite big one, but not as big as yours), and I know those are hard working moving the stones and digging! But I enjoyed the planning and executing process, and I am sure you are also! Good luck, and cannot wait to see the refinished great wall!
