Making Some Progress...Update #2

We're making more progress here, at Patchwork Garden.  It's been slow going...digging the grass out...amending the soil...and then putting in plants.  A lot of the plants are babies....four inch pots.  But, they're beginning to grow.

There have been many changes to this yard, since the day we made an offer on this house.  I posted about some of the step by step progress, a while back.  We put in a fence, to keep the deer out, and the dog in.  Then, we put in The Rio, to help with the drainage problem.

It's not a big fenced area, as gardens go.  But, it's enough for us.  We didn't want the very back of the house fenced, because we like the open view.  And, this will surely be enough to take care of.  Especially, when you add in the areas outside the fence.

There wasn't much definition to this yard, when we first saw it.  In fact, pretty much NO definition.  But, there was some potential.

Now, when I sit down to rest and contemplate, there is a bit more to the view.

I can sit in the shade, and admire all that work.  Soon, I might not be able to see through the fence.  If they do what they're supposed to do, these plants will block the view.

There's always more work to be done.  And, I'm hoping these plants all get enough sun.

I guess, time will tell.  Patience, is not one of my strong suits.

Happy Gardening...
