Uglification Before Beautification

Before we can plant the ground cover, the existing 'grass' and weeds need to be pulled up.  That's what Mom and I did for the day, with a break to go pick up my special order door and cabinet that had arrived.  It was relatively slow going, but then Best Friend and her daughter (BFD: Best Friend's Daughter) showed up to help.  It moved along faster then.  BFD go tired/bored before the rest of us and headed inside.  Shortly after she did, Neighbor came by to see what we were doing and how it was going.  She then let us borrow her 'Garden Claw' which tilled the soil much faster.  We just had to pull out the weeds and roots.  We wished she had noticed what we were doing sooner!  Crab grass is more insidious than ivy.  I don't like it at all!


We've got the densest patches out.  Just a bit more tomorrow (should take considerably less time) and planting.  Yay!  We likely won't get all the planting done, but I'll finish it next weekend, if need be.
