Butterfly Garden part 1

[halogencat]

I intended to post much sooner and include pictures, but I just couldn’t get myself organized this week. On Sunday, I got to spend some delightful time working in the yard. This was stage 1 of planting a butterfly garden and becoming a certified Monarch WaystationI filled in and planted the raised bed that Mike made for me ages ago

Wow. I didn't realize there was THAT MUCH dirt! I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself with it!

I can't wait to see your gardens once they've started blooming! It's going to be beautiful!

Honestly, I think that estimate must be completely off base. There is no way I could have moved that much dirt. My bags must have weighed less or I have bad math or something.

I hope the flowers turn out. I've never tried growing any of those before except the gardenia. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Slight modification to Annie's math. She actually moved around .6 cubic yards, which is still 1200 pounds. That's a lot of dirt!
