Then, we had an unfortunate plumbing incident in October, that left an 18 inch white pipe sticking up in the middle of our yard. The plumber said he would be back in a few weeks to fix that. It's June. He hasn't been here. He wasn't the best...in fact, I could do an entire post on the inept workmen we have hired to fix our house....and the things they broke. But that's not the point of this story.
Come March, after months of no rain, we had monsoon like storms. And we figured out how well our yard did with water. Or how NOT well. Because it was terrible.
So with all of these things, we realized we had a lot of work ahead of us in our yard. Our first project: to extend the flower beds in the front for appearance, and to put in new beds along the back and side of the house to help with the drainage problems.
Today, after literally months of work (making lines, killing grass, taking care of killed grass, buying topsoil, adding topsoil, transplanting/splitting plants, buying new plants, and mulching) we finished those beds. And here are a few pictures so you can enjoy our handiwork. Or just so I can.
