We've been wanting to get the backyard looking decent for awhile. We didn't really have much time to focus on the yard last summer, since we were working on the inside so much. This is what it looked like when we moved in...
Last summer after mom and I cleared some of the junk and dead stuff out...
We decided we really wanted a good sized garden back there. A few weekends ago, my mom and dad came out to help us plot out how big we wanted it. A few days later, they came out with a huge truckload of perennials and garden paraphernalia, including a birdbath, fountain, and garden seating! A few of the plants came from my mom's gardens, I bought a few, and some came from my mom's friend Laurie's gardens. Let's just say that we are BEYOND lucky that we didn't have to buy very much to plant!
Dad and Ryan fashioned a little raised bed so I could have a little vegetable garden too!
So not only did we get landscaping done, but my husband decided that he knew how to build a deck and that he would build one for us. So, mom and dad Kirnan came out (do you like how we implement slave labor with BOTH sides of the family? It works for us!) and dad K and Ryan built a deck in a day! Thanks to mom and dad K for all of your hard work too (and for letting me use the rototiller!!)!
Now if you would excuse me, I must tend to my garden...
looks great!
