Pruning

We pruned the boxwood shrubs along the building. They have never been pruned, so this is the first hair cut for them. They looks nicer. We have two more boxwood shrubs to go, so we'll do next week.



We weeded some area where the bluestem grass is growing.

Shrubby St. John's Wort

We removed two Shrubby St. John's Worts, because they are blocking the path to the water faucet. We're sorry for removing.....

Planting

We worked on the 2 containers by the bench. Sunflower brought some new potting soil to top off the containers.  We transplanted plants from the garden and a plant which Snapdragon brought from her garden. We hope these plants will survive without additional watering.



We also trasplanted the coreopsis and the ohio horsemint.
