Matt and I would love to have a garden. Unfortunately, our yard has been neglected for about 10 years and is somewhat jungly (complete with snaky vines hanging from the trees!) So it looks like a garden is something for next year and we'll have to spend this year preparing. We started this weekend by clearing out a pile of branches and other dead stuff, tearing down armfuls of vines and brambles, and taking out a few trees. Here's how it's going so far!
Matt cut down a tree with an ancient axe. I was somewhat impressed! We had to cut it up into smaller pieces to haul it off.
The stump of said tree. Now what?
Brambles abound!
Sunlight! This used to be my grandmother's rose bed. :( Hopefully I can restore it to some of it's former beauty.
Our azaleas aren't open yet, but they are going to be gorgeous!
