As mentioned previously, our garden has
suffered over a year of neglect. However, it's now time to set things right. And so this past Monday, I started to reclaim my poor, sad little yard and garden. This is going to take some time, but I'm trying to take it one day at a time.
Monday, therefore, was Reclamation Day 1, and I kept my goal small: weed the small bed in the front yard and tear out as much of the dead perennials in the front as possible. A few days ago I posted "
before" pictures of the front yard. The small bed is the one with the dried tiger grass and the lamppost. Here is the "after." It's not pretty, but it's improved!
 |
| No more tiger grass, no more leaves, no more weeds. |
 |
| "I can breath again!" |
 |
| All this, just from this one little bed. Yikes. |
 |
| I did mention it wasn't pretty. It is better, though, trust me. |
It's hard to tell from these pictures the difference made. Maybe it's a beauty that can only be seen by the gardener herself, like a face only a mother could love. But I
can see it, and I'm so excited to get out there again. If only the weather would hold out!
