More Yard Work!

Craig has been working hard toward getting the beds weeded and cleaned up this year. The grass has been growing up through the lava rocks and really got away on us since we were too busy last summer and didn't get it done.

We planted some blueberry bushes also, so are looking forward to lots of blueberries, hopefully. He also finished planting in the raised beds and the little rows are coming up already.

We have been trying to figure out what to do with the area under the trees because the grass just won't grow and we are constantly picking up cones and raking up needles.

We took a trip to the store to price out pavers and patio blocks and soon discovered we would have to take out a mortgage on the house to do that.

On to a new plan.

We are now just going to remove the sod from the area and then lay pieces of stepping stones and fill in between with small smooth rock. Then we can dress it up with planters, bird bath, bistro set, etc. or whatever else.

I think it will look alright. Then we will top dress and re seed the problem areas that are left.
