You know how we all work at creating what we can to make our front and back yards the places that not only reflect us, but also look pretty nice, too.
Well, when we made our final move into a "new" home for us in a new city, I jumped right in. One of the things I always wanted to create was a riverbed of grape hyacinth with rocky "banks," meandering through our front yard. This year in particular it has looked simply wonderful and many neighbors stop to look at it during daily walks. Put in great border plants, daffodils, tulips, dahlias, peonies, day lilies and the list goes on. They're all lost.
With the horried plumbing issue which surfaces 2.5 weeks ago, the plumbing company had to dig up 3/4 of my front yard and nearly everything is gone. I mean gone. They had to dig down 4.5 feet to get to the pipes.
I'm just sick about this and what doesn't help is that my husband thinks it's great, as he didn't like anything I planted anyway - as if he knows a daisy from a slug.
In my garage are bulbs just received that need to be planted. However, I'm hesitant to do so after the plumbers complete this huge job today, as I know the soil needs to settle big time. If any of you have some advice on planting in recently very, very disturbed soil, please, please do post here and let me know. Thanks so much.
