Karen, that sounds like a lot of work. NOID DL's are always fun. Surprised no on gobbled them up.

I divided some primula, then dug up an old Beach Plum that I have been growing since finding it in the grass as a tiny self seeded one for many years. I may have killed it. Time will tell, but it had to be moved. I just didn't get many roots when I lifted it. Bad Mom.

I weeded and cleaned up around a herd of Viburnums and a few other trees and shrubs. I took off their cages and hope the rabbits leave them alone. We planted the shrubs I bought yesterday and moved 3 things the deer or rabbits seem to be eating, though they were suppose to avoid. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

DH took all the ashes from the burn pit and put them in a rosa rugosa bed, then we raked and seeded the burn pit and now watering it. Good thing I got out all the hoses yesterday. I moved the bench to a new possible position as sugguest by IrisMa, but will live with it for a few days before digging up stuff that would have to be moved if I like it sideways. Thanks IrisMa.

I need to weed some of the beds, but next on the todo list is to dig out a big natural berm in the woods so I can use the dirt in the new bed to fill in some low spots. We need to clean up the veggie bed and plant spring crops like Frank up in Maine has already done.

Applause for Frank.

But a good day despite having to dig with my left foot as the right knee is still a mess. A collage of some shots taken today. Patti
