SOS in The Ochoa Garden

On April 10, 2012

                  Sirens seize the day in the Ochoa Garden!!!

The first thing to do was fight the tangle of sweet peas and  weeds as we cleaned out some of the flowerbeds.
                       They looked like this!

They looked like this when we finished!!!

Nice and clean with mulch to suppress the weeds.

Sybil had to leave early to go to a funeral but the rest of us sat down for brunch.

We had a Zucchini/Egg Casserole, Mango Strawberry Fruit Salad, Bruchetti and Garlic Buns with Crystal Light and /or Hibicus Tea.

A bouquet of roses from the Garden.
