    landscaping is my other hobby, record for me, 25 yards of mulch

    My landscape guys clean up the beds and install mulch for me now, too old, but I planted everything you see except the very large mature trees. Shade garden, cutting garden, front. Thanks Brian

    Looks great Brian. We get 10 yards of mulch about every 9-10 months. Really keeps the beds looking good.

    Wow. That is beautiful.
    All those different shades of green .... looks like Ireland.

    WOW. I aspire to that, but not yet there. However, getting closer every year.

    Really nice.

    Really love the hostas. So- you don't have weeds where you live?

    I guess in Texas you would have to do it year round. Thanks. Brian

    Too old at this point to install them, but great idea. Brian

    It does take time, but I love being outside, so it's exercise and gives me something productive to do vs going for a walk, which I also do from time to time. Brian
