Yard Renovations

What we've been up to.
This post is dedicated to Dave and all his hard work on our yards. Although I'm going to be a little selfish and give myself credit for weeding all those disgusting plants that contain gigantic black bugs crawling all over the place. (All in the name of love is my motto)
Front yard when we moved in...


Our front yard now. It is still a work in progress. We dug out all the overgrown and dying plants and we'll be putting in our own plants soon



Our 'left' side yard when we moved in...



Now...after weeding and putting in our own grass.
Our 'right' side of the yard when we moved in...


we had to have this tree cut down because it was pushing down on the arbor and going onto our roof.

And now... we still need to take all these overgrown plants out. The seeds spread and we have a ton of plants taking over the side of the yard. The only thing we've really done so far over here is mowed the grass and weeded. This side of the house needs the most help.


We still need to put in a fence since there isn't one, put in new grass on the other side of the house and the front yard, put in plants in the front, and fix the right side of the yard up. Especially Bill's garden (behind the white fence). Hopefully we'll have our own garden behind the fence and a nice looking backyard and front yard! Slowly but surely we'll get there. Well that's all for my yard update. Have a nice weekend everyone! I'm sure you can take a wild guess on what we will be doing.

  2. progress. yard work is slow progress because the darn weeds that you just took out come back in a week! you just have to pull them out faster than they can grow. But there is satisfaction in cleaning up an area and putting in plants and flowers that you like. Cindy is a believer in 30 minutes a day when you weed. but you have to be faithful to that 30 minutes EVERY day.
