12 Apr - Shade structure in
26 Apr - replaced chainlink along drive with picket. Moved John Davis 24" west
3 May - Put in ferns , Bleeding Hearts, Helleboris,phlox, Mums, Astilbe - next steps are to till / grade the back and put down mulch
4 May - Cool and rain - new plants look good - not shocky at all.
16 May - big push, back area almost done - moved 4 yards of mulch - the wheelbarrow and I are old friends. Furniture arrived - Looks great!
10 June a gentle cool wet spring, Iris were spectacular - they are almost done. Salvia 24' tall and very strong. Roses look good - John Davis benefited from 26 April move. Hostas and west bed lush.
That's it, the extent of of 2003 journal - Kinda pathetic huh?
The hosta's were for the most part donated, though I did get a few of the big ones.
Lets look at some the pictures?

Picket on left is last of fencing changes
Grubby clay crud

Done...
At this point I decided to used ground cloth to block any weeds and just mulch over the top. Good choice!
Furniture - starting to come together
From the deck
Pretty proud of this, even the delivery guy said it looked good.
A few weeks later the roses are blooming!
So there we are for 2003!
