More yard projects done!

Mary and I got to doing the yard projects early this morning. We weren't pushing ourselves, just working along at a self-paced speed. Mary helped with the next soil building hole for the blueberry bed. Then she went off and put some composted manure on the flower bed, and then when that was done, she went and put some on the bulb bed out front. She then thought that working on Herb Hill would be good, as that hill could use the attention. She got all that done while I finished up the hole for the day in the Blueberry bed. While she was working on the Herb Hill, I got started on sheet mulching one of the beds by the patio. That takes up lots of material, but we have plenty from the forcithia that we cut down earlier this summer. I also had mulched leaves and grass from one of the neighbors yards that was a perfect cover after Mary got Herb Hill weeded and cultivated and dusted with composted manure. Mary and I watered up the mulch on Herb Hill, then came inside for showers. We then went back out to sit on the patio, which I forgot to mention we neatened up earlier.

So it was a very good day. We got quite a bit done, and we both are looking forward to getting more done tomorrow.
