My Flower Garden

This spring/summer has been all about "upgrading" the front yard. It has been grueling and costly, but I love the end result. So it was well worth all the effort. First we moved the front of the fence 10 ft closer to the house to create more parking. Because we moved the fence we had to dig up 5 roses bushes and a crap ton of tulips, irises and daffodils. Most found new homes and some just got transplanted. We built many different planters. All out of cinder blocks. After the planters were built we put down some edging and cedar mulch. For a little added privacy we put that plastic privacy strips in the fence. I can't tell you how much dirt we had to remove from the yard to get it level. There is a mound of dirt about 8 ft long, 5 ft wide and probably 4 ft high in the backyard. Anyway we finally got the yard leveled out and new sod laid. The last project will be to pour some concrete for a small patio. And now for some pictures of the process. I will try very hard to ,make sure they are all in order.

 Well there you have it. Hopefully the patio will be poured soon.
