This is what part of this new bed looked like on March 24, 2012. Last Fall, I'd put part of a load of dirt down here and laid some old rotted logs behind it to keep it from washing away.
This is a view from the side, looking towards the logs. The homemade birdbath
(it was there when we moved here 9 1/2 years ago) will be moved.
I moved the little spirea ( ) March 24, 2012.
This photo was taken April 12, 2012.
"Mr. Shady" was given some old utility poles -which he cut for me.
I think they make a great "back border and preventer-of-dirt-washing-away!"
This is still April 12.
The photos below were taken April 26.
Not a whole lot of changes, but things are "rolling along."
Below: A close-up peek at a hydrangea that was given to our family
after Dad died last Spring.
Below are the most recent photos of the back of the "Backyard Center Bed" ;-)
that I've been working on.
There's going to be a somewhat grassy strip between the two beds.
Hopefully you'll notice more changes before long.
Nothing "shady" about gardening in the shade.
