Before I had the mulch brought in, I spent a few weeks killing and pulling weeds in each of these beds, so I think I did my share of the heavy lifting! But, that was enough. I am happy to keep my favorite Springdale small business busy during this summer's drought period with a special project.
Elsewhere in the yard...
This is the first time I can remember seeing nuts form on my hazelnut plants. I picked up what I think were a few hazelnuts last year, but did not pick any from the bushes.
Finally settled on a location for my witch hazel tree (no relation to the hazelnut bushes!). This is where I lost my beautiful cotoneaster last year. I have given the witch hazel as much protection as I could to help it get settled, with a wire cage and rubber mulch tree ring. Hoping it makes friends with the barberries.
Zinnias are in bloom in the hummingbird garden!
