A
little backyard update. We’ve been
planning on putting in sod and raised beds in the backyard since we moved
in. There was never anything in the
backyard but rocky clay and weeds and we bought the house with the intention of
getting the yard in ASAP.
That was 5
years ago… We finally got a contract
signed with a landscaper and were told to get everything in the backyard that
was on the weeds onto the concrete so they could come in, trench, lay
irrigation and level with top soil. So
that is what we did! Josh weed-whacked
everything down and raked it into piles (for me to pick up later when the yard
bin was emptied),
I pulled the lilies, trees and other tubs up onto the cement
in an orderly fashion
and we used the apple boxes (we bought two or three years
ago) as make-shift planters for the veggies we have since our sod and planter
boxes won’t be in until late June.
Took
us most of the day, but we did it and then we crashed on the couch with the
girls for a movie.
Wow, you guys got a lot done. Good use of the apple boxes.
ReplyDeleteWhen to they come to do the trenching and irrigation?
Who knows. He has pushed it back a few times - hopefully by the end of the month. We'll see.
