Adventures in Landscaping!

We have been working on our landscaping for what seems like forever! We have ripped up a portion of the back hill and planted some grass seed, we have also added more seed to the side by the driveway where the previous owners had flowers planted. We also planted my hydrangea, which I love so much!

The biggest accomplishment in our adventures in landscaping was getting rid of the ugly crab apple bush (or whatever it was). I honestly think it was two different types of shrubbery that fused together. It was a beast to take out, the Doc even broke our neighbors ax trying to chop the stump. After chopping it down as much as we could we decided to just bury it and let it rot, hopefully it's been chopped enough that nothing will grow back! In it's place is a much nicer PJM Rhododendron, I can't wait to see how it blooms in the spring.

All gone!

Here are some more pictures of the work we are doing! We still have so much we want to do, but the rest is going to wait until spring!

Now we wait!

Mums are in bloom!
