The New Garden Plot

Now the "Eye Sore" has officially turned into new garden!  We planted Karl Forester in the back and yellow Day Lilies in the front.  We purchased the plants probably a month ago and had not planted until yesterday, so they were a little root bound.  The grasses, which had turned brown after purchase, are sprouting new growth and will grow 3-4 feet to disguise the unsightly fence.  It has been cooler and rainy the past 3 days, so they should be off to a good start in their new home.  



Project Cost Breakdown:

Elbow Grease: $0
5 bags of black mulch: $12.50 (bought at end of season sale last year)
6 Karl Foerster grasses: $30
6 Stella d'oro Day Lillies: $20

Grand Total: $62.50

Sounds like a lot of hard work, but looks great!
