The "5-year" plan

When we moved into our house in 2005, we had agreed that it was a 5 year plan. In five years, the house would be painted and landscaped to our tastes. It would be done...

It's 2011.
The projects are never-ending, we have a dirt mound in our driveway the size of a suburban, It's dark out and we're still working... hit it.

Welcome to our journal about dirt, gardens and beer.

Another day of work on the berm

Planting some hosta, coral bells and dead nettle.

Still many more plants needed to fill in this area.  You can see that 8 plants made very little difference here... now.  Give it a few years and it should fill in nicely.

Thanks to Connor and Cait the dirt pile is half the size it used to be.  THANK YOU GUYS!!

Isn't it nice... you can almost see the driveway. 
After I got off work today, we went to Meijers to get some "picnic" food and i (just happened) to pick up some more plants.   We still need many more plants to fill in the berm area (big sigh), which means more digging.  We are still sore and exhausted from yesterday.  We almost need a full day back at work to get away from the landscaping.  Thanks to Connor and Cait, our dirt pile is significantly smaller.  About another week and it will be gone!  Tomorrow, I will work on doing some planting in the pathway garden.  That's all for now, I have to make a Menards run to buy some salvia, stella d'orro, and lavender. -- Lisa
