I won’t show you a “before” picture of the area along the foundation wall of our house. It is the area we call “Granny’s Garden.” It got that name when Briana (our granddaughter) gave Sylvia a sign to post there. The sign said, “Granny’s Garden.”
We had the veggie garden planted and that was the next item on the TO DO list. Our son, Bryant, and wife, Barbara, volunteered to help us on a Saturday morning. We gratefully accepted the offer, and they showed up on time.
Soon, Sylvia, Bryant and Barbara were cleaning up Granny’s Garden. It was a lot of work. While they did that, I used the tractor and chain to pull out some unwanted mulberry trees in the walk-out area. With Bryant’s help, I even pulled out an overgrown shrub.
Barbara cleaned up the holly bushes (one male, one female)
A couple steps back to reveal more.
Gone is the chaotic jumble that ruled this region
Turn and see the other half of Granny’s Garden.
Hollyhocks and roses hold forth in this side. Can you see the garlic?
There’s still a lot left to do. We expect to make slower progress on that front.
Therapy
Sylvia’s therapy is going well. Mobility is rapidly returning to her wrist as she faithfully does her prescribed exercises. Her goal is to be finished with therapy by month’s end. I believe she’ll do it.
It looked really good. Sorry the weather didn’t cooperate for me to help with the project too.
No problem. We didn’t have to water the garden. We’ll work on the project later.
Beautiful, eye-catching garden spots!
It’s great that Sylvia’s therapy is going well. I hope she has complete recovery soon.
That’s beside our main entrance — aka the back door.
That looks GREAT! I fully appreciate the work that it took to clean it up. Gardening is not for sissies. :no:
Thanks, Lin. It is hard work, but there is a reward for that labor.
