Garden Work

There was several feet of bark mulch piled up in the front planter that we've been removing hoping to save the remaining plants. I guess it was piled up thick to hide the weeds and dead stuff while the house was on the market. Now we have the work of removing it and hauling it to the back yard for another project. I bought a couple of neat rhodies and ferns for a spot at the back of the house and will distribute the bark back there.

 This is the raspberry patch. The left side has been cleared out and looks very civilized. We're still working on the right side, cleared out whips piling up in front. We found a couple of blueberry plants mixed in there, too.

The dogs are adjusting well. They've started using the dog door instead of peeing in the garage at night. Tux's health keeps improving. She's been more playful than we've ever seen her. Hooper is mostly deaf now and Tag is having trouble with his eyesight and back legs. They sleep a lot and very soundly, but still pester me to throw a ball and take a walk morning and evening.
