House Renovation 5 - planting

Today we planted a bunch of fall sale trees and shrubs, 24 by my count.

Some trim didn't survive Calgary's windstorm.

Planting out front - 9 in total, plus the big hole in the center where the city will put a tree. Will deal with the other half when the driveway disappears. We'll put a few on the inside of the hedge too, these things should grow to 3m+. Idea is to shield the view of the 70's style university box buildings.

15 trees/bushes mostly finish off the section of the back yard. The first two spruce trees are in line of sight between our windows and our neighbours windows.

Wasp next in the upstairs bedroom, looks like they could come in where the main power line entered the house and had a hole too big for the cable cut.

Machine to dig out the garage next week, looks like they already busted up the concrete. Pieces that were left. Probably 100 wheel barrels full of the good soil at the back have been moved for the various planting efforts.
