One of the glorious things about this summer is that for four whole months I don't have to share David with his schoolwork. One of the drawbacks is that for four whole months I do have to share him with his garden. Before we bought our house in January of this year, I never suspected what an avid gardener and landscaper David would turn out to be. Every day he spends an hour--or two, or three, or four--outside taming the wilderness. And although I sometimes begrudge the time he spends out there, I definitely enjoy the beautiful yard he's created. Here are some before and after pictures.

Looks great! The boys will enjoy the yard too soon, running circles around the house before you know it! :)
ReplyDeleteWow. I love gardening (and know how much hard work it is) so I'm super impressed! Sweet.
ReplyDeleteTransformation is a bit more time consuming than maintenance so maybe next summer when you have 3 little ones, maybe you can share David with them ;-). BTW, the yard looks MUCH improved!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a difference. I can understand, I always thought my husband was more of a city boy and I was the country girl, but quite the contrary. But I still believe my hubby is pretty dang amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is amazing! It's so exciting to plant things and know they will just keep looking better over the years!
