Last Saturday, Lydia and I tackled some yard work. It was a project that Lydia has been wanting to work on for about a year now, and she was determined to get it done this time. The weeds were killing her rose bushes in the front yard and the whole flower bed needed redone.
The bush needed trimmed... it was taller than me! It had gotten out of hand. Lydia discovered that there was a wasp nest in it too. After getting it in shape, we took out the lava rocks and then toiled the dirt. She dug out the weeds, getting to root of the problem... literally! It wasn't the easiest job either. The dirt was tough and the weeds were deep.
Another thing was the bugs. Many black beetles, huge centipedes and millipedes, and fast wolf spiders! Not the most fun thing to run into when you're on your hands and knees!
Once cleaned of weeds and rocks, we laid the weed barrier sheet down and replaced the lava rocks. Now the flower bed looks awesome! Lydia did a fantastic job!
