This spring has flown and the summer is quickly approaching. We have slowly began making headway in the yard. This spring we rented a mini excavator and dug up shrubs in the yard. Here are a couple of before and after pictures.
We removed shrubs and trees at the front of the property and it opened up our front yard. The section was overgrown and had more vines than anything else. We are simplifying the yard and planting grass.
This is the side of the house and these shrubs left because they were too close to the foundation. I planted a garden because this spot gets more sunlight than any other location in the yard.
The little garden has tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, basil, cilantro, chives, parsley, dill, rosemary, and oregano.
Current picture of the garden. I have enjoyed using herbs from the garden and can't wait for some vegetables.
We dug up these shrubs because they were over grown. They are currently twice the size they should be so we decided it was easier to start over.
We planted 5 hydrangea in front of the house. They will look nice when they get bigger.

Wow! You guys sure do good work! It sounds like a lot of sweat and muscle went into getting rid of some of those big bushes -- but I bet you're right, I'm sure it makes a big difference. Nathan would be totally jealous of your great herb/veg garden -- we can't get ours to grow that tall and lush out here so quickly, I am sure all the LA humidity and sunshine really helps!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks Melissa. you actually don't have to work hard for something to grow here. the hard work is keeping the weeds and the evil vines away from the plants.
