This weekend my husband and I ripped out the 'lawn' at the back of the house. Creeping violet had completely taken over what was left of an already crummy lawn, and since this is the year of big renovations, we decided to rip up the creepie crawlies and replace it with grass seed. We are expecting perfect weather for germination this week, now all we need to do is keep it watered. The same goes for the front yard, it hasnt rained in a couple of days and so I should make sure it will get some sprinkler action tomorrow.
Next project will be taming the rest of the yard. We are planning on getting a whole bunch of mulch, ripping out the plants we really dont want, and mulching over top. Then moving the mulch where ever we want to add plants. I think it could work, as long as we start early. Even if it is just for a couple of years to stay on top of the weeds and the invasive creeping plants we have in (and also outside of) our flowerbeds

When we moved in to our house in the fall of 2006, we obtained a lovely house with a lovely but very neglected garden, which is going to need a lot of attention. It is our wish to make this garden into something beautiful. Seen as though we are both new to gardening we still have a lot to learn and I am going to keep track of the progress of our garden and everything we are learning in the process of making it our own on this blog.
Things To Do
- Get in touch with hedge comapny for advise on hedge
- get rid of crawly plants in our back yard
- make a grand plan for the gardens
