phuggins, after having my 19-year-old nephew helping us in the garden the other day, hubby was wishing just to have his 40-year-old body back! I feel your pain.

We're making anew bed in the lower front corner, where I've had shrubs for the entire 6 years we've been here, but not much of anything else except weeds. I'm finally getting to adding the perennials and more shrubs and conifers now. But first I have to clear out the weeds. Here's how the bed looked a week ago, still many weeds with just a small section of the corners and edges planted out. I'm hoping to have it finished by the end of the day tomorrow. I received a large daylily shipment yesterday; so they're destined for the front bed and I have to transplant others from the front bed to the new bed. (Why did I pick the long way around??? :) )
