THE DAWNING OF A NEW ERA


We've been pretty hard at work: hoping the work part of this will end, and the enjoyment of this yard will begin. This picture represents: the finishing of the stone path, 12 tons of dirt spread around the yard, the planting of a few bushes, the moving of a tree, and seeding grass seed.

The last loads of cobblestones from the secret ghetto cobblestone mine.


2 loads (6 tons each) of screened and tested topsoil. Bury the lead!

We moved Honeysuckle and Vibernum bushes: after finishing the stone path, this place started to come together and some changes needed to be made.  Rake the soil, and seed grass, add water, and... enjoy!  well, wait a month maybe and then enjoy...

We'll be watching this closely.  Do they make ultrasounds for grass?

We decided to move the Hawthorne tree to the spot where the Black Gum tree had been - and died this past winter.  The Hawthorne seems to inhabit this spot majestically.

Woop here it is.
