Still attacking our yard
About a week ago, I decided that our yards needed some sprucing up. I have been looking at companies like Austin Decorative Concrete Solutions to see how we could improve our front yard but for now, I’m focusing on the easier side yard (This is the same side that used to have morning glories). I’ve added some grass-y plants in hopes that the plants would inspire me to do more. Yesterday I planted a hydrangea plant, which probably won’t start showing until next year (if we’re lucky.)
Tonight I had to go to Lowes to grab string for the weed eater. In all truth, I need a new weed eater. If you are also interested in the Top weed eater rated by Urban Organic Yield, it would be wise to purchase one online. I walked out with the string, tomato stakes, a rose plant and a hydrangea bush. The plants were clearanced and I couldn’t NOT get them!
Our side yard is getting prettier by the day:
Up close:
The other side of the house (next to our driveway) might be my next project. I was able to get the overgrown grass out tonight, and now I need a ton of flowers to make it really pretty – and weed-less.
I have no idea what’s gotten into me. It could be all of the nice yards around us, or the fact that we’ve lived here over a year and it doesn’t look like it, but whatever it is…I’ll take the motivation. I want our space to look amazing!
I am so impressed with your yard work motivation!! We went for a walk yesterday and it was SO hot I almost didn’t make it to the library. I need a way to kill out the stupid Virginia creeper in my bushes. Any ideas?
Unfortunately, RoundUp may be your best option. I used some on our poison ivy, and on this vine. And when I cut the bushes down, I took the vines with it (but now have to spray to get rid of any new growth.)

oh I love hydrangeas! Pretty!
