The Beginning

My husband and I bought our first home almost a year ago. The soil had never been worked. When I started the first digs, I found no signs of life. Not a pillbug or an earthworm in sight. It was a typical mow/blow/Miracle-Grow garden, where large chunks of bark lay thick on top of a landscape cloth, keeping the unsightly, gray clay out of view. Just as well, I thought! And then began the work. I have gotten rid of a large chunk of the crab-grass lawn that was in the front. I still have a bit to go, but it's looking quite different from the day we moved in. I replaced the 'lawn' with perennials and shrubs but for now it is a higgledy-pickledy mess. At the beginning of the summer I was in a time-crunch and had to 'just get them in' before the temperatures started rising. So, there is many a change on the horizon!
So stay tuned....
