The pond is officially underway. Thanks to Craigslist, we found someone who was getting rid of a tremendous number of huge rocks from their yard, and another person wanting to get rid of an old hot-tub shell. We are recycling the shell into a pond for our backyard. We'd love to go even bigger with our pond, but because of the dogs, we need to have a partially raised pond in the hopes that we can keep the dogs out (ha). The hot-tub shell should be perfect for the job, plus we get to save a major piece of trash from having to go the landfill.
The butterfly garden has a few more plants. If all goes well, these plants will be much larger next year, supplemented as well by spring-blooming plants.
The first removal of an invasive Nandina also happened this weekend. One down, fifty to go! Okay, hopefully not that many. But lots.
