Transplanting a few clumps of day lilies

just gave a couple of bucket loads to my neighbor across the street plus a wheelbarrow full of ferns

I've got to clear out & thin out the garden on the south side of the house, as well as remove 5 years worth of built up mulch, in preparation for the major portion of the stone I bought that's coming next week.

Gave an equal amount of ferns, day lilies, two rose bushes, two astilbe , & several hosta to a barmaid I've happened to have made the "acquaintance" of ;) from Maurice's.
 
Not really ........ the difficult part was getting tools and parts together. The rest was straight forward. Had to cut the old plumbing apart because there were no unions. Wiring going to the pressure switch had to be removed. The 3/4" pvc fittings I had didn't fit the cpvc pipe. There were all sorts of parts left here and luckily we found a bag of fittings in the garden tool shed. There was an extra length of 3/4" cpvc pipe in the other shed. Also found a piece of 3/4" black sprinkler pipe which I needed. I had to cut the original cpvc pipe back further then expected because someone painted part of it with white paint. Also had to redo the tee and elbow section. The original tank was 20 gallons. I upsized the new one to a 36 gallon. I had to remove the extension on the pressure switch pipe and cut part of the spring bolt off in order to get it to spin back on the original bronze tee in because of the bigger tank. Turned everything back on ..... one drip on the 3/4 black sprinkler pipe. Threw a second clamp on and that fixed it. ok ..... maybe it was a bit difficult.

sounds more complicated than difficult.......
