New Trees!!

This spring, we were given trees! 5 new little dogwoods from the Viana's and a lilac 'bush' from my parents! After much debate, we decided to extend the tree line along the driveway with the dogwoods, and plant the lilacs out back where we can enjoy them from the dining room windows.

Added Cleveland Pear

New Dogwoods going in

All done! see the black mounds of mulch?

here they are closer up so you can kinda see the little trees

And here's a shot of the complete row!

The lilacs: they were big enough to split into 2 groups!

Additionally, we also put down GrubbEX to help kill off any remaining Japanese Beetles (last year they ate EVERYTHING!).
Next up? The entire lawn gets a nice layer of grass seed and we start prep on the basement project!
