Yard Work, continued

As many a spring initiative has started strong and whimpered out when schedules got busy and weather got worse, we thought it was important to continue working on landscaping a bit more since our last post.

The tabblo has been updated with more pictures. The holly bush bonsai project was conducted Sunday April 20. I couldn’t bring myself to hatchet down the gigantic bush. I had to deconstruct it to see where things went so horribly wrong. You can see photos of the interim state. The fellow who gave us a quote to remove Spruce tree this week warned Brian that “it will come right back, you know!” Brian assured him that this was round one, but that we were not giving up yet.

The second round of chainsawing and town compost trips occured April 26 (we are up to 5 Subarus full and counting!). Not pictured, we also pared down the 2nd holly bush so the pair is ready to transplant if anyone wants them – hint hint!

Today we ventured out amid the sprinkles and grey weather to measure out the yard so we can plan our attack. We have been working with the New England Garden’s Guide, Botanica’s Annuals and Perennials and our 3D landscape design software program (rudimentary but useful for visualization) to map out the beds and develop our list of candidate plants.

Next week is our race in Indy so we really need to hit the ground running, or rather digging, to get the spring plantings in when we return!
