Summer Planting

For Father's Day, Brendan chose to add some splash to our dull front circle. We are both anxious to see our landscape plans move from the page they are printed on to our yard, but we are also realistic and know that it will happen little bits at a time. Here was our challenge for today:

We walked through Tagawa Gardens collecting various plants on our list. Garret and Owen each had a cart that they attempted to navigate through the crowded rows. We have a "splurge" on either side of the circle - a surprisingly spendy little green plant that we hope will bring us many years of smiles. This mini pine is for the east side. 

We made a mad dash for the hardware store to collect some garden soil while we commented that the compost bin will be on our list for next summer!

After 3+ hours of digging, watering, and modifying the drip line, here is the final result. We have a few more plants to shop for as well as an accent rock for either side.

Happy Father's Day, Brendan!
