Working in the backyard

The past two weekends we have been doing work in the backyard. We love spending time outside this time of year and it is a good time to make improvements. We have been working on our backyard little by little for the past three years...I'm sure it will continue for the next 10+ years. This year we put in fruit trees and last weekend we put bark around the trees and all along the back fence. It is amazing what a dramatic difference some bark and some bender board can make. It is so much nicer to sit and look at the backyard now.

We also finished planting our vegetable garden and put in an automatic watering drip system. The timer is not hooked up yet, but will be when we get the last couple of pieces needed to complete the line. This is the first year we've had an automatic watering system. We are excited to see it work and to know are vegetables will be water everyday.

Your backyard looks amazing! Awesome job-wanna come help with ours? Ugh-our fence is still so nasty and the cost to replace is just too much! Hopefully we'll get to see it when we come down in June or August.
