Right now as far as yard work, I am working on growing grass on all the dirt patches the previous owners neglected. Between the cost of a new mower, bags of grass seed, fertilizer, starter fertilizer..., I didn't realize how much all that stuff was. However, it's been about 3 weeks since I did the initial tilling and I'm starting to see grass sprout from the barren spots! Very exciting stuff. Lots of weeds to tackle still, but it's coming along.
I'll be honest, I'm an incredible cook, sooooo it may be up for debate. |
Renovating costs a ton, but you wouldn't think of it as your home if you didn't do all that. The best thing about a yard is that it's better when you do it really low budget. Get plants from others and let time work its magic. It is always sad to see a garden clearly done over night. They are missing the feeling of love and they don't ooze life seen.
I miss my gardens. My first one was so tiny and I had no money to put towards building it, so from every run with the dog, I brought back rocks. It turned out epic, with green plants, and tulips stolen from a friend and I was more proud of it than the next ones I had money to invest to. Funny how these things work out.
