Documenting the Week's Work in Pictures


The purpose of this post is 1) to celebrate the most recent tasks we've completed in the yard and 2) just document the current condition of the yard.  So...

Raised beds: only need some final dirt to be DONE and ready for planting.

It took almost three years, but I finally got new washers on this hose and reeled it up.

Raked and cleaned. However, we have discovered there is an excellent
chance that, under three or four inches of dirt, this entire area is paved with random
bricks and pavers.

Raked and cleaned.

Looking back towards the beds and porch. Also, bottom.

Finally found a good location for my stepping stones.

Patio! Also, bottom.

Yet to be mulched. Scotch broom apparently was not meant to survive here.

Hydrangeas and roses all survived!

This... looks better in real life.

First mow of the year.

Layer 1 of experimental, so-called "lasagna garden."

Remains of 4 cu yds of organic compost, this year's mulch of choice.

Side front bed wooooo!  (Used to be two, but I connected them two years ago.)

Also, free rocks!

My something-something tree is in bloom, too!

Originally I was going to make this whole area the experimental "lasagna garden."
Then I measured and found out this area is 7'x25'. So no, not today. BUT soon and
for the rest of our lives?

Front bed!

Other front bed!

Corner bed with exciting new wing that used to be a buried layer of
bricks and pavers that I decided to dig up.

Other front bed from the other direction.

Same as above.

And yet again.

Giant terrifying ant colony in front yard.

Margaret, Don Iguana, and the still-alive clematis!
