As the title says I've been doing a lot of yard work lately. Thankfully it's been nice weather so that I can actually do stuff. Thus far the garden has been cleaned out, the upper part of the stream de-leafed and given new rocks.
After I'm not sure how many months being taken over by grass the garden has been cleaned up and only the large plants remaining(and clusters of purple iris). There will probably always be a grass problem on that side but at least for the moment it doesn't reach the window.
Here's a mid-way through project photo. To help give you an idea on how much there was. Phew. But I'm really glad it's all finished as doing that made the front yard look so much better. Here's a picture of the stream cleaned out. It took all day but I got it done and even added some new rocks.
Luckily our water hose is long enough to reach that side of the house, as running water in the stream is the easiest way to clean it out. All you need is a pair of rubber gloves to pick up the muck. The next step of this project is to remove the grass from between the brick path and the stream.
