Phew, the association flower beds are done! Today was a lot easier than yesterday. No broken sprinkler systems to repair. And they are all in very shady areas so it was a very pleasant 68 degrees, and just the slightest breeze. I had to load a lot of the soil, and mulch and shovels and so on into the El Camino and drive through the neighborhood to the other gardens. Lots easier than toting in in a wheelbarrow.
One other couple in the neighborhood helped us. The husband had open heart surgery a few weeks ago and is under doctors orders to not lift anything over 40 pounds so he was no help on the heavy stuff. His wife is a a lot stronger than my wife, so she and I did the heavy lifting. My wife ran the show and did the actual stick the plant in the hols we dug, and spread the top soil and mulch.
The good news is it is done. We had a few of the residents stop and chat as they were off on a walk. I told them we had extra shovels but they were all on a schedule it seems.
