Here is another spot I'm working on towards the front of the house. There was some sort of bush here that I didn't like so Earl chopped it down for me and I'm digging up a bigger flower bed for next year. I want to spread my lilacs out come fall. I also replaced the ugly bush with a raspberry and lilac bush. My plan is to dig all the way down. I'm going to have Earl cut down the other bush that you see way down there.
All of the clumps you see on the side are waiting to dry out a little so I can shake all of the good soil off of the grass and weed roots. We aren't suppose to have any rain today or tomorrow so that is probably what I'm going to be doing. I'm having fun digging and can't wait to get some planting done. The kids are going to make me some concrete garden stones so we can have something to help decorate the area for now. I'm so excited and I figure this is a good way to get some exercise in!

I am so impressed with your sidebar account of your weight loss progress. And yes, working like you are is for sure exercise. I have 4 grandbabies today so not much exercise just busy work. You are doing a lot better than me. Keep up the good work. You are inspiring me!
YOU GO GIRL! Wow! You are making great progress! Your garden will be fabulous no matter what you plant :)

Sorry about the tiller breaking. We have one and it's so helpful. I remember my grandmom digging up gardens in her 70s!
Strawberries are rather invasion, so you may want to put some slate or something between it and the basil. I just used fresh basil in the spaghetti sauce tonight-yum!
Glad you are getting your thumb greened up!
Oh-good luck with the sales. The Wally World is isn't dropping prices at all. I got some gorgeous coleus for $2.00 (some of my favorite plants) tonight.
Bummer about the tiller, but best wishes for your garden! Gardening is good exercise. It is such hard work. Have a nice weekend! Twyla
