My mom and I started to work in my yard on Sunday afternoon….then Monday morning…and then I finished it up this morning. It’s best to work in the yard at 6am since there is no direct sun yet!
We planted impatients in the front and mom gave me an Aloe Vera plant from her yard:
She also took an old pot with something dead in it (lol I am NOT a gardner!) and put a jade and some Hens & Chicks in it. It now sits proudly on my front step:
Then in the backyard – ugh, what a job! We had a VERY overgrown area with Bermuda Grass at least 12 inches high. We dug it all out as well as some other plants to which I was not attached! However, we did keep the Lavendar bush – but we cut it back quite a bit – and some plant I bought two years ago that is finally growing. I wish I could remember what type of plant it is exactly! lol (again, not a gardner, remember? lol) We planted six strawberry plants, a lemon cucumber and three tomatoes. I probably put the tomatoes too close together – but I was worried that one or more might die and… frankly, I was running out of room!
Here’s a couple of pics:
I LOVE the way your yard turned out! I will have to show it to Kev this weekend. Especially love how you did the little bed with the windchimes!!
