It’s no secret that I hate yard work. We’ve lived here two years and haven’t so much as touched the flower beds, other than spraying weed killer. I mowed the lawn, but only begrudgingly, and was actually kinda happy when it died because of the drought a few years ago. After adding a sprinkler system last year, we now have a reason to actually take care of a few things. You wouldn’t think building an 80 sqft garden and laying a ton (literally) of stone would be a lot of work, but it was. For the record, my hamstrings are wicked sore from all the bending and lifting. Included below are pics of everything we did… I fully expect to get flamed for something so have at it.
Front Bed Before – Yay Nastiness!
Side Thingy Before – Yay Nothingness!
A Palate of Stone – Putting the F350 to Work
Front Bed After – Looking Better, Me Thinks
Side Bed After – It’s Zen and Shit
Back Yard Before – Notice the Missing Fence… It Blew Over.
A Gathering of Materials (and my artsy photographer shot)
Unloading the Free Horse Manure
Building the Box – I’m Supervising 🙂
Fence is Fixed – Spreading & Building Up of the Dirt
Final Product – 8 Tomato, 4 Strawberry, 3 Pepper and 1 Basil
I love the garden! What a perfect little spot for it!
The side bed looks much better than before.. “It’s Zen and shit”.. haha 🙂
gardening is good, makes the house look ten times better, BUT – a sprinkling system for a townhouse?
LOL
Don’t hate me ’cause you ain’t me Paul!
I am jealous you have the end unit, I am one away. Next house.
I redid my garden, but I only needed 4 bags of mulch, 3 bags of gardening soil.
