Dirt Cheap ... NOT!!!

Well, today was the day to plant all of those shrubs and perennials that I bought on sale ... dirt cheap! The most I paid for one was $4.00. The majority were $.99!

BUT, in Prince Edward County, there is NO soil over the rock in many places ... especially our front yard ... so ... I could not plant the shrubs ... UNLESS I bought some dirt.

Let me be the first to tell you all ... 21 cubic yards of screened topsoil ... is a LOT of dirt ... and it sure ain't dirt cheap! Whoever came up with that expression has NOT purchased screened topsoil in that past few year ... hehehe

These pictures will give you an idea of what we faced at 8:30 this morning.
