Busy, Busy

I've spent most of the past three days out in the yard, and the Mr has spent part of yesterday and most of today out there with me. We've been busy!
  • Planted 3 pear trees (two Bartlett, one Keiffer)
  • Planted a peach tree
  • Planted two corkscrew willows
  • I picked up 30 bags of cedar mulch this morning from Ace Hardware in Harrington, who had it for $1.18/bag cheaper than Lowe's in Camden. Phooey on Lowe's. Ace had a reward card too - it's only $5 for every $250, but we spend a lot of money on home/yard improvements, and every bit counts.
  • Planted Bee Balm, Lemon Balm, several varieties of irises, and rosemary in various parts of the yard
  • Burnt another pile of brush
  • Pulled an awful lot of wire grass
  • Picked up another 60 salvaged tiles for my garden path renovations
  • Weed whacked everything that needed it, including the overgrown garden paths
  • Got about 1/3 of the vegetable garden weeded
  • Mulched the right side of the property - juniper, cypress, virginia pine, black pine, two corkscrew willows, weeping willow, three crape myrtles, gingko, ash, sunburst locust, three pears, and peach
  • Built a temporary pea trellis out of what was leftover from the grape vine supports
