Step 9Installation
The arbor was installed (plumb and level), and a lady banks rose ('Lutea') was trained up the arbor.
The stock tank was installed, leveled, filled with soil, and planted with spring-summer annuals such as basil and petunias.
Then we would lay out plants in the beds and leave them in their pots for a few hours to ensure we liked where they were. Once we were sure the plant was in the best spot, we would move the mulch out the way, cut an X in the landscape fabric with a pair of scissors, and dig down to the appropriate depth, putting the soil in a tub or the wheelbarrel. When the plant was in, the X would be smooth as close to the plant as possible, and the mulch would be gathered around it.
For the bulb bed, landscape fabric was not installed, and the bulbs were planted closely together and mulched heavily.
Hanging plants and bird feeders were added to the tree, the gnome got his home, the bird bath got filled, and the snakes got their pots.
