Hows my little landscaper?

This weekend Laura Chip and I made a landscaping adventure for ourselves. And it was great. It started by going to a park down here and getting beyond disappointed by its selection. The sale was held in a garage and it looked like some sticks were in buckets on a table. I was ready to cry because I had been excited for it for the past few weeks. So we went to the local nursery dropped some cash and said YO! plants, come live in our yard! and they said sure why not.

We bought two Lilacs a Dogwood and a Tulip Tree. They are all small but we will nurse them into mighty shrubs and tree. For most of you this will be the first image you see of the outside of our house. I hope you enjoy it!

The two Lilacs are on the lower right and the dogwood is next to the garage. That is our alley on the far side. We drive there sometimes.

Chip was very helpful. Notice my sunburn starting. My back is still tender.


We planted the garden on Sunday. Laura supervised me because she wasn't feeling the best. Last night at about 9:30pm I ran outside and planted a bunch of tomatoes that I had started inside and some damn critter ate a whole bunch of them! We planted Beans, Tomatoes, Onions, Cucumbers, Peppers, Potatoes, Squash, Carrots and some herb I can't pronounce nor do I know what to cook it into.
