60 Bags of Mulch

I had 60 bags of mulch delivered from Lowes this morning. The picture is 20 bags of 3 cubic feet each and 40 bags of 2 cubic feet each. I have in the past gotten a full 60 bags of the 3 cubic feet and that pile was significantly more. This time though I got […]

‘Eden’s Paintbrush’ Japanese Iris

My first japanese iris began blooming today. Called Eden’s Paintbrush I got it from Spring Hill 2 summers ago and it is finally blooming.

This blog is not very old nor altogether that popular, so expanding it may seem premature. However publishing websites is what I do for a living (since […]

Blooming!

The blooms are coming! The blooms are coming! Yesterday, I had my first poppy bloom. Today I had 2 first daylily blooms (Stella de Oro & Happy Returns). Also today I had my first rose bloom. I’m excited. There are many plants in my landscape that have never bloomed for me (recent purchases) and most […]
