I love my yard, but the only time I'm out there to enjoy it is when I'm working on it! So for 2012, I'm going to take a break on the back yard. I'm going to focus on nurturing the plants I have and growing beautiful, tasty veggies (in the raised planters). If I'm feeling inspired to do yard-work, it will be in the front yard this year.
Don't worry, there will be more yard pictures that I won't be able to keep to myself! In fact, I will share how we "fixed" our lawn last spring. Maybe that will be Friday's post....
UPDATE: Here is the post about the lawn.
You have a beautiful yard! We haven't really started thinking about how our yard will look, but it's in serious need of some landscaping!
ReplyDeleteThanks! These after photos were taken last summer - it's looking pretty wintery right now :)
DeleteIt's really nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking a look!
DeleteYou have totally inspired us to do raised planters!
ReplyDeleteDo any animals bother them?
Do you water daily?
We don't get much wildlife other than birds, squirrels and slugs. Portland is really dry in the summer, so we water as needed but usually only every other day. The large planters were built with cedar 2x's, but the small planters were built with cedar fencing - which was much cheaper and lighter.
