These viburnums had become too large for the space, and consistent shearing had made them unsightly.

We divided the grasses to form a backdrop for 3 ‘virginia sweetspire’ that fit the space and brought in great fall color

These spirea shrubs had become too large for the space and had been planted overly close.

We replaced the spirea with various shades of coral bells that brought in red and gold hues the homeowner loves

This odd space between two patios stayed moist. A mowing crew often left skid marks in this area.

We mulched this area in so it would need next to no maintenance. This makes a great area for bird feeders. Plants could not be planted due to gravel underneath the top layer of soil from the new construction.

I was in my vegetable garden when I saw a female Cardinal flying strangely with a plastic bag. I thought she gotten caught. Then I realized she was planning to nest in my clematis and this was her nesting material. It's a shame that birds have to use plastic trash for their nest which is unsafe. I took it away but I hope she still nests there. Humans have it backwards. We #litter everywhere with plastic and things that don't break down, and we clean up everything organic like leaves to the T and send it all to the landfill. #birdnest #plasticpollution #plasticharmingnature #leavetheleaves #nestingmaterial
I used to not really like daffodils, but I took a class at the extension office and they sent us home with some. Now I appreciate all the different types. I added a couple new ones last fall. #daffodils #daffodilseason #narcissusflower #springflowers
I always have trouble sowing seeds with even spacing, especially for lettuce, greens, beets for example. So I found this neat tool to help with that. When growing in a raised bed you aren't going to be planting in rows, so often the seed packet instructions don't apply.
