After my little jaunt to Whidbey, I quickly got the majority of my haul from Mom in the ground and things were looking promising.
Things in the ground but need some time to grow. Plum tree is looking great!
Some of the things from the old house were bigger and helped make the new plantings not look so sparse.
The existing iris and snap dragons stayed put. Also Mom brought me some japanese iris and peonies and they were doing great!
Front yard well on its way, time to think about the back yard and the garden. I decided on raised beds for the garden, partly because that is sort of the trendy thing to do and partly because I am weary of digging out sod. I found a website to help me plan what I wanted to grow …
Site helped me map out how much space all of the things I was hoping to grow would take.
Now to build the beds. Hello power tools!
Lowes cut down the long boards for me but I had to cut the 4x4s myself. And then I got to screw them all together. The back bed has a bean trellis made from a 2×2 and leftover mesh fencing from the old house. Sturdy and super awesome looking!
Now time to get some dirt and let the growing begin!
