? Happy Earth Day to All Totally remodeling the backyard, leveling it out for my Golden Years! No more hills, changing all the garden to raised beds so no more hands and knees. Not sure how much of a garden will get planted this year as I have to put in a retaining wall to my back neighbor, new fence and a retaining wall dividing 2/3rds of the yard from 1/3rd of the yard. Will have a slopped walk area to the upper section where the garden will go. Lots to do, so not sure my garden will get in this year. I also have to replace the decking on my 16'x20' deck, they are 23years old as I put them in new back in 1999 and have lived out their life. Rotted sections that a foot can go through, so looking at Trex to put down that will last till I die. I have 20 Leland Cypresses to plant once the retaining wall is done and fence put in, I will use it for a natural green barrier to all my neighbors, so I have a totally private back yard. Will keep it trimmed like mine in the front that gives me total privacy.

Happy Earth Day indeed. I planted a dogwood last night, spread some grass seed, spread some mulch...very relaxing after a week glued to computer screens on Zoom calls.... going to plant some boxwoods and some thuja arborvitaes this weekend, and some tiger lilys in a flowerbed.
