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, another garden planted.

This morning I planted meadow sage, lithodora, and stella d'orro day lilies.  The trellis in the upper garden will (hopefully) be home to a climbing rose (red).  It was planted  yesterday. 

The empty spots the the left of each of the meadow sage plants will be filled by lavender.

eventually, there will be a stone walkway from our driveway to our front door.
Spring is officially here!  With two gardens installed and several plants already in, the front yard is looking great.  As you walk around the property, all our hard work this past fall is paying off.  We have spring bulbs EVERYWHERE.  Thanks to shotgun brand REPELS ALL...the bunnies have found somewhere else to live For the past 4 years I have had tulip stems with no bloom. The bunnies ate them as soon as they popped up.  
A picture of our daffodils.  In just a few weeks, the creeping phlox will be in bloom (spilling out of the barrel).
