Day Two

Today was supposed to be day two of the pond project. But instead it turned into the hose hook-up on the north side of the house, trip to the garden center, and plant some stuff day. Finally picked up the onion and potato sets to plant this week along with a Heritage Rasberry plant.
Before the rain came Robin and I did manage to scoop the remaining muck from the old liner into a wheel barrow and then, with the heavy rain coming, we decided it would be best to leave the liner in place to protect the dirt underneath. We all ended up on the front porch for the storm and I snapped these pics from there.


Robin was able to plant the blueberry bushes and the strawberries before the downpour.

We also got this beautiful Japanese Maple planted. Robin got a great deal on this, you are not going to believe it, but she paid $12.00 for this! We have been looking at these, and they are always pricey, she can smell a bargain that's for sure. As I type, the storm has passed and it is clearing up nicely, the birds are singing and we have a few more things to do before dinner. The new liner came today and tomorrow it will go in.
