Critter, That is the area along side my Veggie Garden. It runs from the clipped yew to the old corral fence 4ft wide and 46ft long. I'm sure you remember how bad that area was, no machete but hand clippers and loppers and heavy leather gloves where very much needed to finish the job. I have the upper half of the bed completed and planted. The curly willow is in and the obedient plant along with several other plants from the swap and from the Co-op. I'll be moving my goldflame honeysuckle in there I'm putting an old bicycle in the bed as a trellis for it to grow on. There are some ornamental grasses and echies, some dahilas and cannas that will need to come out next month. There is still a good bit of work to do in that area. Ric needs to move the last back RR Tie into place. It is sitting just out of the picture half buried in wild raspberry bushes. I will be roto-tilling and moving some dirt around you can see how much lower the dirt is at that end. I"ll be bringing over several wheelbarrow loads of compost I'm thinking maybe as many as 10 of them to help fill in. Then I will need to edge the front maybe buried landscaping ties, something Ric can mow over to make it easy. Ric mulched the top part last night with grass clippings you can see a large clump of lemon balm about half way down that is where the finished area stops.
