The Never Ending (Landscaping) Story: Part 2

We're going to wrap up this landscaping project with the third and final step:

Step Three: Mulch, or 22 Bags is Not Enough

One would think that a few bags of cedar mulch would be the perfect topper to the final project.  And one would think that filling the entire trunk and back seat of a '98 Lumina with said few bags of cedar mulch would be plenty.  However, one would be wrong.  

To fully appreciate the effects of cedar mulch, you will need at least 22 bags and two car trips, enough to leave your car smelling nostalgically of the Black Hills for approximately a week to 10 days.  

Right now, our plantings are very small and dwarfed by shredded cedar chips.  In a few months, or possibly years, we will reap the benefits of our labor.  Until then, here is what we planted:

The next project may be to paint the window trim and/or watch the grasses grow.

I believe we're done with major landscaping now.  Time to chill out and enjoy the summer!
