We fell in love with this purple mountain grass and decided to give it a try just to spruce up the yard. Wish them luck as the soil conditions are a little rough.

Backyard Back Breaking
Our mud patch with gravel mound for a backyard is now gone. Last weekend we relaid the old flagstones to make a path and shoveled the gravel that we had delivered a few months ago into place. The flagstones were saved over a year ago from among the trees roots in our dark old backyard. While our backyard still needs a lot of love, this is a good start.

Side Yard
The first photo is our of corner plot where we are thinking of planting some hostas donated by friends. The other photos are of the bush near our side door. If you have any idea what this is, feel free to post a comment. If you want to see it full grown, check out one of the first posts from a year ago when we bought the house. I am definitely a gardening rookie.

Front Lawn Makeover
There is still too much going on to be able to write a proper blog entry about our landscaping adventures but I at least wanted to post a photo of our new front lawn. We decided to go with sod to help combat the weed problem (at least for now). We kept a small section of a flower garden and then of course there are our old concrete flower urns (too heavy to move). One day we hope to carry over the rock/flower garden look as our neighbours have done next door.
