Started weeding the Smoke bush bed. 

Had Noah unload 10 bags of black mulch and placed them around the Smoke bush bed. I purchased these yesterday from Lowe's despite having delivery problems. The size of the bags from Lowe's is 2 ft3 as opposed to Home Depot's size 1.5 ft3.

Used 3 of these bags to cover the area that I had weeded.
