In the beginning...

our back and front yard were beautiful. Very well manicured. Lots of flowers (and no weeds) in the flower bedS. Lots of different trees, fruit trees, berry bushes etc and a few greenhouses. We have been living here since October 2004 and boy how things have changed. The previous owners obviously spent alot of time working in the garden. The garden was one of the things that sold me on this house.

I did not realize at the time how much of a pain it would be to keep the property looking as good as what it did when we first purchased it. I did not realize that my DH hated grass...we have grass in the front and back...and it isn't the easiest to mow because of all the trees and the banks. So just keeping the grass maintained is a chore in itself!!

I've decided to keep a blog about our activity in our yard in hopes that it will inspire me to keep on top of all the work.
