we have been in our house for a year now.......last year we had to fix stuff inside and did minimal outside...........this year we are focusing on the outside............here is my work in progress.....
the only part thats done..........a section about 4 foot by 20 foot.....there is a dwarf pine at the end.....a lilac bush that was here when we bought the place and 3 roses on the end closest to me......covered in river rock so there is no weeding :grin:
front yard...............the tree is going to go cause i hate chinese elms......unfortunately the wife discovered today that a pair of mourning doves have a nest so until the youngins fledge it cant come down. the green you see isnt lawn............its weeds......grass seed will go down in the fall the war on the weeds will continue through the summer
front garden, its entirely perennials and pretty well done....gotta wait to see what fills in and what survives next winter before adding more plants
bleeding heart from the front garden....only thing blooming at the moment as the tulips are pretty well done
along the side of the garage............work in progress
the back yard.......we are figuring this will be a 3 to 5 year project....this tree is coming down and a pond and bog will be there....havent broken the news to the Possum Killer yet....thats her climbing tree....
more of the back yard......between the supports for the clothes line will be hardy kiwi's
here are the apple trees......believe it or not one actually has blooms even though we just planted them a few weeks back......the hill side will be terraced going up and veggie gardens will be there....
