My yard is a mess. When we bought the house 5 years ago the folk we bought it from landscaped it cheaply (read: cheap plants that grow quickly). This has lead me to have a constant fight with everything in the yard. I hate yard work as it is but I also travel extensively for work in the summer so it became a replica of the Munster’s house.

This weekend I decided I would redo the middle foundation bed in the front of the house. I forgot to take a BEFORE photo, but this is the after photo. I pruned, pulled up an incredible about of weeds, dug out old plants, laid landscape fabric, planted new plants, and put down mulch. This took up most of my weekend. Monday evening my sister came over and helped me finish it. I’m am so happy. Now I just have to get to the rest. The rest is a lot, but at least I have one nice bed in the front!
