Thursday was plant day! They finished putting in bed borders, finished grading the lawn area, and continued to adjust sprinklers and drains.
About 11:00 am the truck arrived with our plant delivery. We laid them out about where we wanted them and the guys got to work planting them. We went back and tweaked some of the things we just didn't quite like. It's a lot easier to move things yourself than try to explain to someone who doesn't speak good English exactly where you want it. I kept saying a little more this way, now a little more that way. I'm sure the guys thought I was very particular...

Front yard bed with some of the lawn grading done, and part of the bed border in.
Plants arrived! And a nice big pile of smelly compost.
Ben loved the plants, and helping with the planting. Hopefully the workers didn't think he was too underfoot...
Here most of the plants are in. They ran into a sprinkler pipe where the date palm was supposed to go, so they had to finish that one in the morning after the sprinkler guy could move the pipe.

Ben? Underfoot? No way. I'm sure they adored the stud with the blue hat and the awesome green crocs. At least, I do!
