VRaz60 you are absolutly right. It definately gave me something to build on and next year will be even better. I'm actually amazed at the support i've gotten over this event. I expected it to be a money maker and everyone else expected it to be what it was. So, i'm really the only one hugely disappointed and i've pretty much gotten over that part.
Thanks for the words of encouragement!
Sooooooooo, for Memorial Day Monday this is where we stand.
Parade was good! Even the different route didnt keep folks away. All a good morning.
Then onto the yard......... la la la la la la la
The new phlox
The work in progress corner. We didnt get to finish it before we plain pooped out.
We got some lattice that was around the property and anchored it between the apple & pine tree and then took a second peice over to the corner of the house. This is a "dead" zone for anything except weeds so we decided to put down a ground cover and then fill it in with mulch. On the other end of the porch we're going to continue the herb garden around the corner from the front over to the end of the porch.
We did manage to get the herb garden mulched in and bordered with the stones.
Look what Phil made me!
This is for the upside down tomotoes, peppers and pickeling cucumbers.
I just love these pots! I got them at Rite Aid for half off. In person they look like wood. I had to touch them to make sure they were ceramic.
We used the parot cage stand to hold flowers :-)
So it's 8pm and i'm pooped. Gonna get off the PC and relax. We both worked hard today. It was a good day :-) Happy Memorial Day!
