Building Our New Home

September 26 - Bed #2 halfway done

Went to a couple nurseries this morning looking for Wichita Blue junipers for the corner of the back yard fence. The first nursery had 2-ft ones and 5 to 6-ft ones, nothing in between. The 2-ft one was really inexpensive though, so I picked it up and went to the next nursery. They had 3 to 4-ft junipers for about twice what the first place had, so I picked up one of those too.

I decided to plant the taller one on the side by the patio since we spend more time over there, plus we need more coverage to hide us a little from the puppies next door who get upset and barky every time we are out there.. :) I will hopefully have enough dirt to put in another small bed in the corresponding place on the other side of the yard. I spent about 3 hours digging and arranging dirt- ground was hard again since we haven't had rain in a couple weeks. But I finally got the bed about half dug up, got the juniper planted and half the bed built up with dirt and mulch.. Hopefully will be able to get the arborvitae planted and the rest of the bed built up later this weekend...
