Last weekend we went to town with the chainsaw and the loppers. Â This weekend we brought in the tractor to scrape and rototill. Â Our yard is getting a desperately needed makeover. We pulled out a rhododendron, which, while healthy, was unattractive and had the effect of filling much of the space and visual field. Â We cleaned up the abandoned areas around the edges of the yard. Â Here are the before and after pictures:
Since this picture was taken yesterday we’ve also put down grass seed and wildflower seeds into the new area, and we’ll be planting raspberry bushes along the back edge. Â This is in addition to the tomatoes, peppers, and herbs we now have crawling across our deck.
