Well.... I've spent quite a few hours this week digging. And digging. And digging. I now lovingly refer to my new flower bed as "the lap pool". Unbelievably, I think I have another hour or two of digging to do! But I'm proud to report no "cable" casualties (knock on wood...) and only one "why in the world did you not put on any sunscreen?" from John. After the "big dig", I guess the next step is hauling in a BUNCH of "good dirt"..... But, after that, the fun begins.
Motivated by Lori's suggestion, I've decided to extend the flower bed a bit behind the pond. Not all the way around the pond this year, but it's a good start, I think. The length of my goliath project will be somewhere around 24 feet..... It's raining again today unfortunately... but maybe this weekend I'll wrap up the excavation phase. And besides, I was supposed to be preparing for a neighborhood garage sale that starts tomorrow at 7 am! Nothing like procrastination!

Nice job Steph! Man, I better reconsider my bed - its tiny compared to yours!!!
Whoa...24 feet... holy cow! Looking good though!! All the digging will pay off when you're back there bar-b-queing and gazing at your gorgeous new garden!
