July Must Do's








Let's get right to all the things you need to do this month to care for your landscaping

























































That's exactly what I was thinking.....



So.... 




 





 
  Just in Case you Didn't Know





 Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, both framers of the Declaration of Independence and former Presidents



BOTH died on the same day?



July 4th, 1826.

50 years after their signing 


Adams -2nd                          Jefferson -3rd









John Adams' last words were "Thomas Jefferson still survives".

But, he was wrong. Jefferson had died 5 hours earlier at his home at Monticello.



Adams age 90, Jefferson age 82

It looks simple but believe me it was anything but! If you go back to the "Before" photos you will notice these 2 beds are filled with years of perennials and....wild onions, weeds, wild garlic, weeds, wild onion, weeds and more wild onion/garlic. 3 -4 men used shovels and hand trowels and dug 8 hours a day for 3 days to remove every little piece of weed root and baby wild onions and garlic etc. and remove it all from inside the hedges. Then we had to make a ramp to get the 500lb sod cutter over the boxwood hedges and in to remove all of the existing sod. Then the new sod was laid in a window pane fashion with Red and White Begonias and White and Purple Wave Petunias.



UGH!!!

But, the finished product sure Looks Perty!!





















Are you Bored yet???

Last Set...I Promise















Before.....A Jungle



Ok...so I forgot to take some Before pics. But, it WAS very hot and very humid that day. And besides it will make for a nice short story.















So, we started out by sending in a team....



















Uh...well....













Maybe more like this...













and in clearing the area....















They came upon all types of wild creatures to deal with



































even "I" had to go in at one point to help clear out

 some undesirable guests























Yep...that's me!!!!...hahahaa







But, in the end the risks were all worth it!!







and



After hours of hard labor in high humidity the new landscaping was complete

















  











 

This really was a jungle before. A few new low maintenance plants and reused some existing. Put in a section of old iron fence they had and reshaped the bed.  But the new home owners are now elated with the change and.... you know....that's what it's all about!!! 








Hope you are having or had a relaxing 4th as there is very little else one can do with all the rain!



Hmmm...Like write a Newsletter maybe????
