Where did April go.........

Hey everyone, It seems that I missed posting altogether last month. But May is here now, and a new post in the making. I am going to show you the pictures of the recent renovations of the gardens in front of the house.
Tractor came in handy. It saved a lot of digging with the shovel. All the topsoil was removed.

We took out the bushes and transplanted them into new beds. First I scooped the sod of the lawn where the beds had to go. Then transplanted whatever mom wanted to save. Also with the front end loader of course. Otherwise there would not be enough dirt left around the roots. And we like healthy bushes and plants.




Here is a look at the new beds. We basically connected the Weeping Willow.


And went right to the Maple tree.


In the last picture you can see that I added rocks back in front of the house. The next step will be............

Hi Randall, never figured you for a gardener but than, with the tractor makes all the difference I guess, since you guys have Google street view now ( welcome to this century) we can check the differences!

Greeting André

Isn't that amazing, that you can see a picture of our area anywhere in the world, as long as you have internet.
Thanks for the comments André en Tetcy.
