The first gardening project
If you’ve known Jenny & I for long you know we love to dig in the dirt. Â Some couples play golf, some games and others movies. Â We love to garden together. Â The ironic thing is Jenny was a self proclaimed “black-thumb” when we started dating. Â Ten years later we’ve turned that thumb green. Â Our former house was fully landscaped and we had run out of places to plant things. Â With the move to the new house we’ve got plenty of room to have fun with plants. Â We told ourselves we wanted to wait until fall or even next spring before doing anything outside. Â Well, we didn’t quite make it to fall. Â Last weekend we decided to tear up a small planting bed on the back of the house. Â The bed is home to a huge Japanese Maple but was littered with other plants that didn’t fit the space or needed more sun to be successful. Â The bed was also ringed by old concrete blocks and wasn’t level creating a drainage problem.
We are in the process of putting in a Pavestone Natural Impressions Riverstone wall around the bed and planting shade loving plants.
Ours won’t look as purty as the picture above but we think it’s going to look pretty sharp. Â We’ll hopefully be finished this weekend and will post pictures as soon as we’re done, I promise.
