Before and After

Before



After...


...six weeks of planning, rototilling, digging, and planting.
Two apple trees, one cherry tree, two blueberry bushes, one Japanese Maple, one quaking aspen, assorted flower plants, and SIXTY bags of cedar bark mulch...






I have learned that a garden is like a child.

You never feel like you've done enough

but when you aren't looking things start to bloom.

I love your birdie blog background!

Your new garden looks beautiful. Hopefully it will reward you with lots of lush coolness over the summer.

And the pic of your girl in the previous post is so beautiful.

I am glad I stopped by to get caught up!
