Slow Progress

When the Northerns purchased their house, the flower garden was in need of some attention.

Below is a view from the office over the garage - slightly overgrown, eh? Weeds were removed, invasive species were choked out, and mulch was laid over landscape fabric. Frustration, doubt, and despair were the major players in this garden game.

It took three years of hard work, and the hands of NorthernMommy, Daddy, and Toddler, but the garden has turned the corner towards being a beautiful place. (Last Saturday's major push to apply mulch helped a great deal!)

Today, the flower garden looks like this:

Very nicely done! Maybe you should come down and tackle our front yard.
