Since I just started a new basically Daylily Garden Theme, I'm resurrecting this thread
And rather than type it all over again
I copied and pasted it from my Garden Photos forum that shows gardens from before and after we moved.
The new theme is called my "Prayer Garden" (I know it's not original but it works
) and the majority of the plants are daylilies of course, but there are other perennials there too - here goes:
So this is how things work at our house - Ginny wants a new flower garden - hubby hates gardening but LOVES motorized equipment so he uses his tractor loader (or whatever the heck it's called) to clear areas, load the bucket and bring mulch, haul the big rocks, etc. Ginny tells him where she wants things and does all of the planting, mulching, and everything else (unless it's something that's too big to handle which would include pretty much only large trees!!!) So yesterday I was ready for the mulch but I was still inside with my daughter and granddaughter telling them goodbye when I looked out the window and yelled NOOOOOOOOOOOOO (like he could hear me in the closed cab
) as he was dumping it in a place I didn't want it
and parked the last bucket full with the bucket right over the plants I needed to put it around! Now I know from experience that if I grumble about it I'll be learning how to run the tractor and do it myself so I merely very nicely asked him to move the bucket off the plants and then proceeded to haul mulch around to where I really wanted it
You gotta love em!
