It all looks wonderful! We used the black mulch in the front this year, because we have mostly shade out there. I'm afraid to use it in the back, which gets more sun. I'm thinking the black mulch will bake the plants. Oh well, I'm going to just go for it!!<br />I hope you are going to take it easy today!<br />Donnaddogoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06392802653745003466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664312103727243394.post-24228134431878808302010-05-05T23:09:51.982-05:002010-05-05T23:09:51.982-05:00That is a true work of art..I hope your neighbors ...That is a true work of art..I hope your neighbors appreciate you making the value of the whole neighborhood go up.<br />I just did a little mulching today and will be doing more tomorrow and will be posting pictures soon in my blog.nancy hugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16048620969205596927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664312103727243394.post-71433448800370862392010-05-05T22:39:54.479-05:002010-05-05T22:39:54.479-05:00Your gardens look wonderful!

I love that mulch! I'm with you, I like the darker much better than the light. I think it brings out the colors of the flowers better too.<br /><br />Now wait a minute on those shoes... you can spray some of your Clorox clean-up with bleach that you showed in your last post! I'm sure that would clean them right up.<br /><br />You didn't bore me with yard work. I love looking at other's yards. Before we moved into this house we are living in, we used to drive around and look at houses. Now that we have the house we want, we drive around and look at landscaping. You can get some great ideas from other people! Thanks for sharing. I love what you all have been doing in your yard. I think it is beautiful and when it flowers you better show more pictures because I know it will be gorgeous!Angie Berry ~ Berry Homespun Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664447067172311957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664312103727243394.post-60986957146932414812010-05-05T18:21:20.959-05:002010-05-05T18:21:20.959-05:00SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL, KAREN...

We get it by the bucket load (the bucket of a front end loader - I don't know how many yards that is). We have gotten 4 bucket loads so far. And I have a full tray of plants yet to go, too. Every year I say we are going to cut back but it is so pretty when we are finished.
