as i've previously mentioned, we have done some work to our front yard. it's funny, we have done so much work inside that when people see our front yard, they are pleasantly surprised that the inside looks like it does. so, slowly, we've been trying to beautify our front yard in hopes that it'll be a better first impression people have when they come by. it's still a work in progress, but there indeed has been a lot of changes. we're working on the grass; dp needs to fix the sprinklers first.
this is what it looked like when we moved in. notice the rose bush, mailbox, big tree to the right, ugly doors, and random plants in the two planters. the good thing is the grass was green!
i've been working on this flower/vegetable bed (with my neighbor's help). there's an assortment of peppers, perennials, parsley, and today i planted some lettuces and an eggplant plant.
dp dug up all the grass and the tree got chopped so that we could open up the front view of our home. here are strawberries and two pretty plants. hopefully we'll have a huge patch soon of edible strawberries.
this is the new view to our home. compare it to the first picture and we've come a long ways! i also added some solar pathway lights along the sidewalk. next: sprinklers and green grass AND a medium size tree and more flowers in the corners of our yard to soften it. any landscaping suggestions are welcome!
