Five more wheel barrows of mulch are in the garden, which brings the count to fifteen.  I pulled so many weeds the last couple of days that I filled a thirty gallon trash can.  And, I’ve only done the pond garden.  Geez!  I hope to begin the side garden and I’m betting there’s at least two more thirty gallon cans worth of weeds there. 

     Heaven knows how many wheel barrows full of mulch it will take.  I only hope that I don’t run out before I’m done.  If I run out, I’ll have to go buy some.  The mountain of mulch in the driveway now looks as though I’ve been removing some.  It’s down to half the size it was after my neighbor’s son dumped it there.

     I’m not sure if the frogs like the change.  They seem to be staying in the pond more, but then that could be because the yard is dry right now.  Maybe I’ll get a chance to take some pictures of the gardens this week.  

     In the pond garden, I’ve trimmed back the baby’s breath, cut down the remnants of the oriental lilies, removed some iris, put in the variegated yucca plant my cousin gave me, and moved one of the day lilies.
