Not sure why this is underlined. This is the south side of our garage, notice the garage door in the front, fence in the back, and the brown trim and broken gutter.
This is the front of our home, from the street, still the brown trim and gutters, but this pic shows the improvements we made to the front garden beds, but it's from earlier this year, when none of the plants had come to life yet.
South side of the Garage, just dirt. It was weeds and garbage, mainly cigarette butts.
This is the front garden bed closest to the garage. Very weedy, and full of garbage. It did have tulips, sedum, an orange daisy and iris that have done well, with a bit of dividing. The concrete bricks along the front of it are put in wrong, and they're just in front of the sidewalk. We took them from here and put them on the other side of the door to build up that bed. Also, they had black plastic edging along the edge of the concrete driveway. Go figure.
These three pictures are of the south end of the back yard. There was a cruddy old fence and gate around an even cruddier old rodent-infested woodpile. Also a lovely chain-link fence spanned the entire depth of the yard from the gate to the back of the lawn. The area on the other side of the fence had been a junk yard and car lot, and was still full of bit and pieces of garbage.
Haven't you always wanted a totally random lamp post growing out of your back patio?
In this one, you can see how deep that back corner is, way out there. We really do have
a large lawn, which is wonderful of course. The white irrigation riser was inconvenient here,
so this year Ty moved it, which impressed me greatly!
This was what the front garden bed looked like before we did anything with it. There weren't gutters along the front of the house on the north side, so all the water just pounded into the ground where it fell from the roof. The edging bricks are put in with the front side up, instead of forward, and there were only weeds in this area. Neighbors tell us there were beautiful hedges and an amazing flower garden here before the previous owners tore it all out.
