I really am beat... But a good beat...

Today was in the mid 70s and so I worked all day on the various beds... Cut down the miscanthis... That is always a biggie... I tie last years grass up real tight and cut it with a chain saw... makes a 2 hour job a 15 minute job...

Three years ago we bought what we thought was an umbrella pine... Problem is that it turned out to be, ahhhh, some dwarf umbrella pine of yew of some kind... Just doesn't seem to grow much... Healthy but slow... So it's been takin' up prime real estate in a container that I have buried in the ground... No more!!! Today I ooved it into a similar container (above ground) and have it next to the Thunderhead Pine... Looks real good and in the in-ground container I planted a small "black bamboo" that I ordered from Oregon three weeks ago... I think once it gets up to about 7 feet that I'll prune it and keep it there... Can't wait...

Also dug up a rose bush that was planted in the wrongest spot it could have been... Dug holes for, but didn't plant, mugo pine (5'H-8-W), boxwood vestigiata, 2 Alaskan Pines...

Oh yeah, got the fountain cleaned up and runnning for the season...

Doesn't sound like much but it was...
