I needed a place to plant these Okra seedlings, where
- they'd get as much sun as possible, and
- I'd be bale to water them (which is a major issue, since I have only the one outside faucet)
I had a week ago, put tomatoes, Sweet Basil and Italian Oregano in a bed here, so using my tiller I broke the soil (and my back) Brought in what I hope will serve as mulch/food until I can get more suitable things.
THEN
I went to work again, using said tiller at my mailbox. I posted that yesterday which you can read here
After that work yesterday, I was one tired puppy, but the thing was lopsided and had a MESS of daylilies to be done something with.
I took my tiller down to the street
Dug up the grass, which was a pain in the ass (hey! I'm a poet), on my hands and knees raking grass roots and rocks, then again, backbreakingly I moved that mass of lilies almost "en masse"
It looks better with the dirt blown off those stones in front.
I need at least 3 more of those shaped blocks to complete the semi-circle, and I have a ½ block to close up the back row, BUT
My friends I am so SO today I could barely get out of bed
Methinks I'll take the day off from yard work.
I think that barrow load of blocks is what made it

Gardening is definitely hard on the aging body! My knees sure let me know when I've been down on the ground too long. Your yard is looking nice, though.
Hey @scribblingramma , my day off yesterday has made a large difference, so that Now I feel capable of going to the stores for the things I lack.
I want my yard to be something folks will look at and say "Ain't Dat Purdy!
That made me chuckle, and I like the idea!
