This was hard to come home to every day.
We took over maintenance of the building’s garden when the gardening-extraordinaire-neighbors moved out, thinking it would be fun. Well, we underestimated how much time and care they put into the garden throughout the summer.
Tired of the jungle look (which also hid garbage and animals, ick), we ripped everything down 3 weekends ago. After 5 hours of digging and cleaning, this is what the garden looked like when we were done.
The following weekend, we cleaned and dug more and set the stage for our garden vision by laying out grass seed and a dirt mound for future flowers and plants.
We just added a little splotch of fall color for now and some seeds for grass. Five days later the grass started to grow! (Thanks to watering 2 times a day and great weather.) Today this is what the garden looks like.
Our job is mostly done here for now. We’ll keep watering until the 2 week growth period is over. We’ll do our basic trimming, but the real fun in designing the garden mound won’t come until next spring.
hi!, thx for the information, this post was very awesome ! oooops! now it’s time to go back to my garden !
