April and I spent several days this past week working on our yard and garden. Growing up, I didn't spend a lot of time doing yard or garden work (I was the mower, trimmer, and weed-picker), so a lot of this is new to me. April is teaching me, Nate and Elin along the way, and I'm finding out there is some serious back-breaking work to be done.
April had to transplant several plants, and apparently our day-lillies were growing too large, so we split them in half and put them on the side of the house.
Stripping the sod on the side of our house was one of the hardest things I've ever done! LOTS of heavy dirt and clay (and wet from recent rain), and I didn't have a wheel-barrow so I had to carry it away in the green bucket. Boy was I SORE the next day. But I think it turned out alright. Here's a before and after...
Nate is helping April with the pea-sprouts just starting to pop up- he gets very excited about these.
This is just a pic of our cherry tree- Montmorency cherries, or Door County cherries. I thought the white blooms were awesome, hopefully we'll get some cherries this year.
