Happenings in the yard

Well it's been a couple weeks since the Doggie Dooley went into service.  It is with great confidence that I can proclaim a huge success in the dog waste handling process.  The Doggie Dooley works as advertised and we are happy about that.  We pick up a lot of poop.

The rain barrels have been placed back in service and are filling with rainwater as we speak!  We are excited to collect the rainwater and use it for our gardens instead of municipal water.  

The pallet garden was briefly mentioned in the last post and I am proud to say that the construction is complete minus a trellis for the climbing vegetables.  We have a few plants started from seed and are waiting a little bit to make sure we are past all the frosty weather before we start planting.  

We have added a few plants to the flower gardens at the front of the house.  We added two Knockout Rose bushes and a Black Lace.  We are looking forward to seeing these plants flourish at the front of the house.  Follow the links to learn more about these cool plants!
