In one of the sideyards there is what i refer to as the MESS. It is a stump of a tree that fell years ago before our house was even built. It just is a mess with all of the growth in and around it. I am not sure what I will do to make this area look better. I might try clearing out everything except for the stump.
The MESS
Our house has a bigger backyard compared to the front. The frontyard is divided by our driveway. We haven’t done anything in the frontyard since we have lived here either. So another BIG project awaits me.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with the front yard yet. I’m currently reading about edible landscaping. Maybe something like that would work in the front.
There are many projects I hope to start this year. Some will be more complete than others by the end of 2009. I think having a visual record of what I’m beginning with will help me to see the progress. So here we go…..
Our backyard is not level. There is a slope that extends the length of our yard. Here are a couple of “Before” pictures.

As you can see, nothing has been done to our backyard in the two years we have lived here. I will be starting from scratch this year. This is going to be a BIG project!
