Spring planting / yard
« on: May 09, 2013, 03:40:32 PM »
After spending about 8 hrs per day out in the yard the past three days I can finally say it's pretty much done for the summer now. Put up the new wood fence in both corners of the yard now with some new flower beds, redid the driveway flower bed and added a new section of flowers under the flag area. Pulled out the old wild bushes last fall and put in some new Spruce trees along the front of the house. Now I get to tackle the backyard probably next week after resting up a bit.

My knees and feet are so sore and my blisters have blisters, so I don't even want to think about planting another flower for at least a week lol

Looks great!  Inspires me to get out there this weekend and start sprucing up my yard, too.

Well instead of working on my yard, yesterday i came home and found that ALL my patio furniture was gone. so you win, its looks really nice.
I have about 18,000 rounds of .223 I'm  looking to get rid of, 100 rd bags. 1-4 bags $40 ea, 5-9 bags $38 ea, 10 or more bags $35 ea. I can't put this in the for sale section, its not fish related. No shipping.
