Our new house needed a bit of cleaning up outside. It's been a slow job, done little bit by little bit. We spent one whole summer digging up the entire yard so Steve could put in a drainage system and run power out to the shed. We spent another summer putting in the stone patio and walkway (we collected almost all of the rocks free from roadsides and excavation sites). 90% of my plants have been free starts from family and friends, and sometimes I think I rearrange them more often then the furniture in my living room!
But I'll just let the pictures tell the story...
