Bet you can't guess what.
Isn't it a beauty?
6 yards of nice screened top soil.
How lucky can a girl get on a Friday night?

Welcome to Perennial Passion
About Me
- Diana LaMarre
- Michigan, United States
- I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently. During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings. I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Do you have plans for the topsoil?The flowers on the right have snuck into shot? rudibeckias?
ReplyDeleteHi Snappy,
ReplyDeleteI will be adding it in all the spots where I have removed flowers. I have big holes all over! DH will use some to top dress the lawn and throw some grass seed in areas where we can't seem to get grass to grow.
Yes, they are rudibeckias.
What are you going to use that for Zoey?
ReplyDeleteNever mind....I bet we`ll all get to see :)
And I`m jealous of your sedum!
tea
xo
Guess I should pay more attention LOL
ReplyDeleteSounds like you'll be having a little bit of company as you work in the garden this time!
ReplyDeleteCan we guess who's going to spread it??? I see topsoil and I just want to plant more things in it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to that soil. Better than all shoes of the word. This morning I give some compost on the boarders and my heart is happy now.
ReplyDeleteSigrun
I hear mud is good for the complexion too! ; )
ReplyDeleteBetter than shoes anyday!
ReplyDeleteFound your blog while I was 'blogging around' on blogspot. You have a wonderful garden. I guess I'll stop by another time... :)
ReplyDeleteZoey, I am soooo jealous! I literally have to cart in every bit of soil for my garden. I just picked up 10 bags at Home Cheapo yesterday to augment the new daylilly bed. I'd better quit blogging about it and get out there now - the weather is great for digging in the dirt!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you all come over for a ladies night and we'll slap mud packs all over our faces and talk about our gardens........
ReplyDeleteGiddy, I know the feeling. I bought 10 bags when we did the pavers. It was awful stuff...all wet and rock hard. This stuff is much better. Have fun digging........
