Garden pics
Jun. 11th, 2008 07:57 amWhen we bought our house, it was completely landscaped. It was gorgeous. The backyard was non-functional, but it was super pretty and brilliantly planned so that there was *something* blooming at all times. Once the kids got a bit bigger, we decided to take out just about all of the backyard landscaping and put in plain old grass since we have very little property. The backyard is still totally boring, but the kids have a safe place to run around, which was way more important.
The front lawn has 3 huge blue spruces, that I think I'll take out at some point too because they're getting really tremendous and are close to interfering with the wires that lead to the house. Over the years we've lived here, some of the things that had been planted died, so I replaced them. There was a small patch in the front that had these tall grasses that served as a local cat litterbox, so I had them pulled out last year and we've had a really pretty patch of dirt since then. This year I decided to put pretty flowers in it. I also always plant flowers in the less populated areas of the front yard.
