Let's see those '11 gardens!

[shilala]

I just went and bought some trees and shrubs and composted cow poop.
I put in a weeping cherry and some kind of goofy pine tree earlier. Now I got two cultivars of spiraea, a boxwood, and a dwarf pygmy quadruple-split japanese maple of some sort. It's odd. More bushy than tree-sy.
I got a dozen bags of poop to poop up the front flowerbed that's full of bushes. I don't know what you call a flowerbed that has bushes in it. An "architectural element" maybe?
I got some more poop for my strawberries that I haven't planted yet, too. It won't quit raining long enough to improve the soil, so they still live beside the desk here on my floor.
I got a bag of weed and feed to kill these weeds in the lawn. I live in a development now and am actively ensconsed in a grass war with the neighbor. Mine will look way better than his inside another month, cause I'm a turfgrass growing sumb1tch of the first order.
It's nice to have a little yard so I can play these games. It sure is a departure from the farm, though. I'm not sure what I think yet. When I have my garden back, then I'll be happy.

Well, change of plan for me. Appears that some of last years fallen maters left seeds behind that decided to sprout this year. Counted five plants yesterday that were about 6+ inches tall already.

Gotta love volunteers, Hal! (well some of them)

Word to the wise - cosmos - I planted a $1 packet of orange cosmos two years ago ('09) in the edge of my garden so my daughter would have flowers. I let a few volunteers come back last year for her to enjoy. I pulled up 20 6" high plants this weekend! No more cosmos for me. It'll take 2 or 3 more years to completely eradicate them.
