Productive Weekend!

Finally! A weekend without much rain so we were able to do the things we wanted to. It wasn't completely free of rain though. It did rain a little on Saturday just after the husband finished mowing. We originally planned of planting some bottlebrush trees along the property but it had to wait because mother nature decided to sprinkle the newly cut grass.

Sunday was a totally dry day though. Tree planting was done as planned. We [more like 'he', the husband] planted 6 bottle brush trees. We thought we would need a couple more but we decided to stick with the 6 we already have. Hubby bought them last weekend. The only glitch we had was we ran out of plant food and dirt. But super hubby flew..err, drove to Lowe's and got what we needed and then some.

I tried to pull some weeds while he was planting while the little one helped him by 'watching'...LOL. We helped him by putting mulch around them. It was a fun experience for the little one of course. We're planning in planting some more plants this weekend. Maybe around the big trees in the backyard. The little one sowed some flower plants a few weeks ago and some came out victorious while the others decided to 'perish'. The plants are now ready to conquer the big world, yard, so we're going to let them loose soon.

Here's a picture of the before and after of our planting activity this weekend.


Now we just have to wait for them to grow....with a lot of watering involve of course. Well, let's hope it rains enough so they can be watered without me moving a finger. Ha!
