Reclaiming Mother Earth

I walked out into the back yard at 9:00 A.M. this morning and looked at the flower bed I had put in just a year a ago and thought to myself are you really going to do this, are you really going to take it out?


Heck Yeah! Let the 2009 redesign begin!



Here is a before photo I took this morning of the area where beds 3 and 4 will be placed.

To refresh your memory here is the plan I’m working to…



The compost bins have been relocated to their new home.




Today I prepared the area where bed 4 will be located. I pulled out some plants and put them into pots until I can figure out where they will go in the new layout. If I don’t have room in my yard I will put them in my sisters garden. I pulled up the pavers and reclaimed all that space I had covered up.




Who needs to go to the gym when you have a garden? Wow what a workout today!

While I did the prep work my sweet husband built the raised beds for me.
We'll install them tomorrow.




I have a lot of work to do to get this yard looking good again!
Where am I going to put all this!




Well I can't worry about that now... Once the beds are in the real fun begins... planting and redecorating.


I snapped a few photos of a bee happily working on this spring like day in Feb.
