I tackled the most ambitious garden project to date by digging the side yard up and taking out the sod plus about 9 inches of clay and replacing it all with good top soil. It is 57 feet from the fence to the walk. The project took over 3 weeks to accomplish from mid October into November. I then planted well over 400 bulbs there (crocus, daffodils, lilies, dutch iris and more)and also a few pansies. That open space without mulch will be sown with seeds a little later. The crocus is a fall blooming saffron crocus planted a couple of weeks earlier. A little taste of spring before I put the garden to bed.
