Filthy Rich


The bags of mulch and soil didn't look all that big at the garden show, but they sure seemed big when the forklift deposited them at the end of the driveway: 3 x3 x 3, or '1 cubic yard' has equated into several wagon loads dumped and deposited in the back garden, with offers made to friends, family and neighbours to come and share.  I hope to be able to whittle away enough to be able to physically lift the bag intact so I can store it out of sight for use next year.

Planted - nasturtiums in the garden  and iris by the pond
Potted - lewissia cotyledon, orange begonias and hostas
Transplanted - an evergreen conifer & astilbe switched places in the back garden and the euphorbia was moved to the front (beside the red maple)
