This has been a day of work and play outdoors. We planted our garden, bought new edging and mulch for the backyard, mowed the lawn, and went for a 10-mile bike ride. Ahh.
Our garden consists of the raised box to the right and the two brick-colored planters. In the box are 2 tomato plants, 3 peppers, carrots and radishes. That's what we planted in the same space last year. This year we are going to try to start blueberry bushes. We have one each in the planters.
After putting in the garden we went for a bike ride. We did the usual route down Lower Huntington to the greenway, around Foster Park then back over to the Tillman Park baseball diamonds, and back home along Winchester Road. It was like 10.05 miles and took us a leisurely 70 minutes.
We've been trying to think of some kind of edging for the spot just off the patio. It has brick in the ground, but that doesn't hold the mulch in. Jane found these 3-foot sections of wood edging/fencing, and it was super easy to install. Unfortunately it is $7 for each section. We just bought 10 of them and this is what we're going to go with. We got a couple bags of mulch, and will need a few more.
Jane also bought some flowers and put in pots on the front side of the house.
So, it was a day spent outdoors. I smell pretty ripe now, so I think I will go take a shower.
