Smile - It's Sunday!

Green Thumb Sunday

Thought you'd like to see some photos of my mom's garden.
She has a green thumb!

And by the time I finished the digging, straightening, removing the grass (with the help of my sister and sister-in-law), trenching and mulching - MY thumb was red! ha!!

Looks like a picture frame, doesn't it?

I created a 6" trench (deep and wide) all around the garden and filled it with mulch.

We tamped it down to compact it.
When grass tries to grow into the garden, all Mom has to do is to pull it out!
Don't let this photo fool you - it wasn't as hard as it looks!

Ta-dah!

Mom deserved the help, and look at the neighbor's tree!

However, I didn't have time to tackle the little garden on the left...
Perhaps another family member will work on it?
Or I'll finish the job this Fall!

Nothing shady here! :-)
Happy Sunday day!
