I've been busy the past couple weeks, getting quite a bit done in department of yard work and gardening. Although far from my dream yard, it's a good start! I'm not one to spend hours or even years dreaming up and planning the perfect garden. I generally see a plant I like, buy it and then find a place to plant it.
When we bought this house, I knew there was a lot of potential. I don't think I'm a natural when it comes to gardening, but it is fun for me.
Here are some pictures.....
Before - September 2010
This was taken after we had already cut down/ripped out some bushes and trees.
After - May 2011
many of these bushes still need some trimming and shaping
Right now our front yard is so pretty and colorful!
And now to the backyard....

We have a wonderful array of birds that visit our yard - even ducks. It's fun to have wildlife in the neighborhood!
