More landscaping!

Image
I rarely get more then $100 back for a State refund, but this year I received $530. I decided to use it for my landscaping budget. This is $775 later... granted, I did purchase a $230 rototiller that will (hopefully) give many years of use! My wonderful friend, Aurora, rode 6 hours on a train just to help me dig in the dirt. I'm so grateful for her help, as I would not have finished it in one weekend without her! My yard is HUGE and unfortunately is filled with crabgrass & foxtails. They are the devil. I spread 2 entire bags of Weed & Feed, therefore, there are bald spots in my yard now. :( I hope to eventually get rid of most of the 'grass', and I use that word lightly. I love my little corner! I planted climbing ivy on this side of the little fence. My friend and I digging in the dirt! My grand-daughter is happy with the results!
