Yard Work

Ian and I have been busy during the last week doing much needed yard work. There's a lot to do yet, but here's some before and after pictures of what we've done. The planter right in front of our porch was overgrown with 3 bushes and an evergreen tree. Under those were mounds of vines. In addition to plants, we also found several small boulders and 3 yellow jacket hives! Luckily, the hives had been abandoned, but still a little scary.

The before picture isn't ideal, but you get the idea. You can see the top of the evergreen at the right-hand corner of the house.


We planted some azaleas, impatiens, and a couple of other flowering plants--I'm not very good with plant names.

Our next project will be to work on our vegetable garden!
