I didn't do myself the favor of taking before pictures, but I removed a large boxwood hedge from the front of the house in the heat. I don't ask myself if I'm crazy, I know I'm crazy. It had plenty of holes with dead parts and just needed a refresher, to make our front porch look more inviting and friendly. This is what we got out of the ground - via ratchet straps and our pickup truck. We dragged them away from the area and put them on the trailer. It took a whole day.
Then I went to a local nursery and to Home Depot and picked plants.
I got several that attract butterflies and some feathery ones. I also planted our two plumeria I had near the pool finally. They made it 2 years in pots after our move from Merritt Island to Winter Haven to Seffner.
It took 12 bags of mulch to mulch everything.
And did I mention I did the pool beds as well? I did! Lemongrass went in to try to deter mosquitos...we'll see if that works.
Long, hard day. Beautiful and satisfying results.
