    Best and the Worst

    Bedrock Garden Friends

    Picture
    The Best News of the Year is that the first meeting of the newly formed 'Bedrock Gardens Friends' occurred in January. [It has since incorporated and is now has a 501(c)3 tax-exempt status as 'Friends of Bedrock Gardens'.] Its goal is to preserve Bedrock Gardens as a public garden, Carol Evans was facilitator. Ooooo-eeee!

    Storm

    The Worst News of the Year was a wind storm on February 25, 2010, that blew down about 50 80-foot trees. We had damage to art, specimen trees, and even lost a truck. Ron Cote, and his excavator, again, help put things right.

    Events

    Lots of animals this year, including our first time ever moose. Our guinea hens had keetes. A flock of 17 wild turkeys hung out forever, and and a real Blue Heron hung out with the bronze storks. Can you believe that there are four garter snakes in that coil by our front door?

    The Allée Saga Continues...

    After cutting down our wonderful 400-foot Allée of Korean Mountain Ash, we stumped them (Ron Cote and his excavator again), and planted Chinese fringe trees. Can you see them dwarfed by the piles of mulch surrounding them?
    We made a good start on our new patio...all round shapes, including five septic tank tops and a huge grinding wheel.

    Bob planted 2000 plugs of Hakonenchloa grass in The GrassAcre to replace a grass that was failing to thrive. This required us to hire weeders (never have we had to hire weeders before), who were, in themselves, living art:
    Thanks, Carolyn and Hilary.
