A few weeks ago, Mr. OverKill and the boys gave my garden a much needed make over. The wooden end caps had rotted off and the last batch of potting soil we filled them with was subpar at best.
It was time.
Mr. OverKill made the new end caps out of aluminum. These shouldn’t rot ;)
And they shoveled out all the yucky old dirt, and filled it up wit new potting soil from my favorite nursery.
Then, Mr. OverKill tackled a project I had wanted to do for a while. We added some river rock around the edge of the patio. We’ve always had the worst time getting the grass to grow right there, so it becomes a big sandy mess that everyone, including the dog, tracks in.
Additionally, the dog assumed that was his bathroom.
Not cool.
As you can see in the picture, he wasn’t too sure about the rock. To this day, he still won’t step on the rocks.
Yeah!
Until I discovered where he decided his new bathroom would be…..my garden walkway.
Grrr…
Then, I heard that Lowe’s had mulch on sale. Hmmm…
So the kids and I went and got mulch and liner, and filled in the garden walkways with mulch.
Which he doesn’t like. Yes!
It wasn’t long until we had some sprouts coming up.
I’m very hopeful that we will have a great harvest this year. And I am ubber thankful for my men, big, medium, and little, that care enough to help this Frazzled Mama out.
