Flowerbed Shaping up...40º

Except for a few bare spots the chips are all scattered and a sprinkle of nitrogen fertilizer added...A couple of brief showers settled everything...Herb and I are working on the southwest corner of the yard...Golden Glow dug up and separated into about six pieces (took a few whacks with the Pulaski to do that job.), Joe Pye weed dug up and replanted, before we could set up the old bed frame...We are adding the bed frame mostly to help support the Golden Glow and add another feature to the garden...My plan is now to transplant delphiniums next to the head board and add iris starts to the rest of the bed, add some cosmos and poppies..It always takes at least two years to see if this is going to look like the picture I have in my head...It should look good with the old weather fence behind it and Chief Joseph Mountain as the backdrop, if only the old red barn was still in the picture.

I miss the old red barn

Use your imagination

It was getting close to noon when we decided to call it a day and that was about the time a phone call came from Pat...Was I interested in going to the yard sales?..A quick wash-up, change of clothes and we were off...Yard sales a bust so we walked through Joseph's last Farmers Market of the season and consoled ourselves with steaming hot mocha's at Arrowhead Chocolates.

Herb said pizza sounded good for dinner...A homemade crust, quickly shaped, added roasted tomatoes, seasoned browned ground beef, sliced a sausage, olives and onions, added this along with cheese and as the pizza come out of the oven I sliced the last of the fresh tomatoes to top it off!..Hugs To All...OWAV:)
