We still need to work at making this look less like a giant square of cedar chips but for right now we needed to suppress the hoards of weeds that were sure to colonize the area.
Next up: evergreen plants, rain garden, new tree, deck. Go!
We tend to do a lot of sitting on the porch just off our bedroom--you can see a picture here: http://justagirlwithahammer.blogspot.com/2011/03/garden-fever-part-deux.html
We also have plans for building a deck off the other bedroom and creating a nestled sitting area just off of our bedroom sliders.
I think we're going to do the deck ourselves. I go back and forth about whether I can afford it, whether we know what we're doing, etc. I'm building another fence too--we should get together and compare splinters sometime. :)
It looks so much better. I love the design and am looking forward to seeing what you plant. I'm so very sorry about your grass. I had the same thing happen in my yard and I've had my scowl face on all week.

Weeeeeee! Okay- where are you going to sit to admire this work/view? Bench somewhere? Is there a porch nearby? What are your 'sitting' plans?
ReplyDeleteWow - that looks so much better! Nicely done. Are you doing the deck yourselves? We're doing a fence and deck this summer, I think.
