Do SOMETHING!!!

A few months ago I was outside and I realized I just needed to DO SOMETHING with our yard. I've made so many excuses: we aren't going to live here forever, we don't want to spend the money, and on and on. But I decided that doing something, anything, would be better than just wishing my yard was different. Here are some before pictures and if you want you can follow how things go.

See that bushy, brown thing? It was the shrub from %!#$. More on that later.

Here I'd started taking the garden boxes apart. When I first put them together (last year) I put them too close. I was trying to do some fancy terraced look, but it was impractical and I couldn't reach into the middle of the boxes.

Aren't those shrubs lovely?
