Plants in the Ground

We went offline for a few days because our server got hacked, but we are back up and running.

In the meantime, the landscapers have been doing stone work and planting. And hacking up the front yard. Oh, and they put two gigantic piles of compost right where I need to put my car to charge it up, which means I've been exploring public charging stations.

Here's the back yard with some of the compost laid down and planting started. It's feeling a little chaotic right now, but gardens are like that.

Same deal in the side yard, where they've got the right side planted up.

They also started tearing up the front for the butterfly garden along the sidewalk. That included jackhammering out the concrete in area between the sidewalk and the street (sometimes called the "hell strip") at 7:30 in the morning, for which I apologize to all my neighbors.

This is one of my favourite parts: a dry creek that fills up when it rains.

And this stone bench and small flagstone patio under the magnolia out front are coming together nicely. Not sure I'm going to want to hang out here this winter, but I can see it being an excellent place to spend a summer evening with the neighbors.
