Project Week Day 2

Submitted by wafy on

Well day two was still pretty productive. Didn't get as much done as I had hoped but not bad for doing it on my own. Today I worked on cutting down my flower gardens. I have a number of perennials, mainly Hostas and a few lilies on the side of the house and garage. The main point of cutting them down was to avoid having to clean them up in the spring like I did this past spring. Granted I bought the house in the winter and the previous owner was not able to do much in that area, but it was still a pain to deal with.

After doing a few of these gardens, I am beginning to think that I should have waited at least another week or two to do this. The plants were still pretty good yet and when you try taking them down with a weed eater it makes quite a mess. Definately need to look into a more effecient way to remove debre from rocks and mulch, with out taking the rocks or mulch. Rocks weren't too bad I don't think, but I will definately will have to add more mulch this spring. Below I have a couple before and after pictures hope to have more later.
