Backbreaking Work...

In our backyard is a Rose of Sharon tree with
lovely white flowers. Underneath it is a blue
Hydrangea, a ugly statue (inherited from the previous
owner and never removed by us as we had other things
to deal with), and a viney plant which was slowly
choking the tree to death and taking over that
section of the yard. After two years of ignoring it,
we finally decided to get in there and take care of
the mess. We spent about a week digging out the viney
plant, removing it from the tree, and digging up
clods of grass, shaking the dirt out of them and
throwing them away in yard waste bags (though I used
a few to fill in some divits in our yard). The work
was back breakingly hard. Nearly a week after
finishing, my back is still killing me. But it's done
now and looks amazing. Ann picked out and planted all
of the perennials.
