We finally got some serious landscaping done in our side yard. This area had been a literal thorn in our side since we moved in because it had a lot of compacted gravel in it making us unable to do anything else there other than grow very large and thorny weeds. Well, no more. Chris rented a bobcat and removed the gravel this weekend. He rototillered the dirt and put some more top soil down.

I am so happy this got done. This area alone is larger than the whole back yard in our first house. What’s more is that this is the only area of our yard that is in the sun all day. Can you say veggie garden? I can. For the most part we will seed it and make it a place for Trevor to throw the ball around. I will put some taller perennials and wines next to the fence to dress it up a bit and put the veggie garden and the compost there.

Here are some pictures:

Fortunately, Chris is not allergic to Bobcats

Oops! I guess we’ll have to fix that. Or build a garden railway…

A whole world of possibilities
