House Project #9: The Front Yard

Last weekend I finally decided that something, anything, needed to be done to the small front yard. When we moved in almost a year ago the yard looked neat, though I didn't necessarily like the plant choices it wasn't overgrown with grasses and weeds. Now after the spring rains and the warmer weather our front yard, while delightfully green is rapidly becoming "That Yard" of the block. It was time to do something about it. After a couple hours of weeding a small patch was ready to be transformed. Behold the power of petunias!



Everything just looks neater with the cedar shavings. And the orange tree finally has blossoms so we might get some fruit from it this years after all!
