You have already MOWED not once but TWICE?? Crazy. You are lucky to have this wonderful window to work in the garden. I can hardly wait to get out there to do some plant shuffling. That rock looks very dense. Isn't it amazing how they sink down into the earth?! It is often very difficult to get them up out of the hole they sink into. I hope you had a two wheeler to move it. You don't want to hurt your back this early in the season. Love seeing your before and afters. I can see how much improved the areas look. I always seem to forget the befores. Have fun on your vacation.
ReplyDeleteI love the first lawn mow and edging of the grass! I know spring is right around the corner then! I've only mowed once already in 2020.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, devoured plants and boulders. It happens sometimes; a reminder that all plants are constantly "on the move". Will you prune your Ceanothus after it blooms? I believe Ceanothus respond well to shaping while they are still young.
