Backyard Project

We began destruction of the backyard.

Yup, were are destroying the backyard. No fear though, we are going to bring it back to life. We are tired of the grass lawn. We had to carry our gas powered mower up a flight of stairs to mow the back lawn. We hate doing that. So instead, we are going to leave just a small spot for grass, plant a garden, make a path, and add some plantings for the birds and butterflies (and all the critters who like to dine on that stuff as well).

We had a magnificent weather weekend, so we were able to get some landscaping cloth put down. This will be the base layer for our work. We have a raised bed kit on order. We raked and cleaned out the exiting beds. We repaired some of the damage from the sidewalk plow over the winter. We erected a compost bin. We hung a couple of new birdhouses.

Still lots to do...we'll keep you posted, and put up some pictures in the future.
