2011 Garden Prep



It's Tax Day Weekend 2011 - Time to Hit the Garden!


This is what 9 months of sitting dormant looks like....wheat growing like weeds! Lots of work to do just to get to the dirt!






Here is the HUGE Cross Vine trellis at the front of the garden. It's out of control!



.....but beautiful!


And the 2000 daylilies that we inherited from our previous homeowner, Mrs. Anette. These are in an amphitheater surrounding the garden. They'll be a show by June.



Here are Graham and Rapley helping us transplant over 2000 more daylilies.


These will no longer border our driveway.....


...they'll look great beside the new front walk!!



Ahhh! Completion!


And then there is help IN the garden while removing the wild wheat. CECIL! Get OUT!

Cecil and Lizzie have been banquished to the Happy Tree while we prepare the garden.


Wes & Rapley run Mommy's Troy-Bilt.


Graham is no slouch, either. I love child labor!
