Ready to plant! 'Before' pics

11 years ago

My top soil came last night so I can finish grading and get my plants in the ground! Yay!

Ready and waiting:

Here you can see where I pushed the bedline way out after realizing the first was, obviously, much too small. ;o) The conifer is a straight species P. strobus. It will allow possibilities for full shade, morning sun, afternoon sun and full sun.

A wide view of my first planting area:

A brief look at the second area I have sprayed out, but undecided as to how I will plant it yet:

For funsies: mah man and mah dog!

Looks like a prime piece of earth! Enjoy and take many before photos! :)

I see some great conifers in pots there, you've already made some wonderful choices.

Looks great! I like the curved contours and grade of the bedlines.

Got hot so the backfilling went slowly, then it rained, then I left town for a few days. Spending a few days in beautiful Door County, Wisconsin. Planting delayed, but should be done by the end of this weekend!

Thanks all for the compliments...hoping it turns out well! I can design the heck out of a defined space that gets "finished" right away but am still having trouble planning for the future and long-term gardening. I guess I should just come to terms with having to re-arrange things down the line.
