Front Garden

Posted on | August 5, 2008 | 2 Comments

Over the weekend we were up in Marblehead working a few small projects. We finally got majority of the garden dug up. We just need to patch the basement window and add more cobblestones. I can’t believe how long that took. I dug down about 2 feet to remove all the roots and add new healthy top soil. The roots were seriously out of control! We put in some cobblestones my Mom brought down from Maine along the border and planted three Endless Summer Hydrangeas.

We were trying to decide if we wanted the cobblestones to be flush or a little bit raised? A neighbor walked by and said they look better vertical and raised up. I hate them that way! They look like teeth.

Eventually we will add in more flowers and bark. We tried to space the hydrangeas as far apart as possible since they get so big. The placement feels strange. I want one under each window but the space doesn’t really work out that way. I guess they will grow in? Greg promised to make me window boxes for all the front windows for next Spring. We don’t have a yard but we will have plenty of flowers.

Hi – this is my 1st time coming across your blog via your $1 finds for Domino. Anyway, looks like you're up to your elbows in home remodeling fun. We're in it too. I just wanted to let you in on a fabulous book my husband and I are reading aloud together: All the Way Home, Building a Family in a Falling-Down House by David Griffels. You will laugh out loud till your eyes water. Check it out if you get a chance.
