Yard Work

The very first time we looked at our house I knew we'd have to do some work in the back yard. There was nothing in it! Ok, I lied, there was 1 ugly and scraggly rose bush. Soon to be NO ugly rose bush. But in the east corner of the yard there was this small hill, at the base of the small hill you could already see a natural break where the slope was just too steep and was sloughing off anyway. I decided that was the perfect spot to add a cute little retaining wall and plant a garden behind it.

So yesterday, that's what we worked on.

Here's my little landscaping apprentice. He had a great time digging in the dirt and "working as a team"

We still have work to do, I need to even out the sides and along the front where the "grass" (moss and weeds) meet the dirt.

Not too sure what all we'll plant but I do know Keegan has put in an order for strawberries. Josh wants tomatoes, jalapenos, and green peppers. Which makes me think I'll be canning more than blackberries next year.
