We used the garden hose trick too - partly to be sure it would be easy to get the bunny lady with the riding mower around - we have quite a bit of space.<br /><br />4. Plant things far apart - I just can't do it. I try, but can't! So now we have a jungle!

Fresh new grass and just the right few plants and a tree make it look so inviting. I would be rocking on that porch and sipping some delicious cool iced tea right along side of you.

We were never able to do this to our back yard and have had to cope with what we had when we moved in and it has taken a long time to sort it out. Can't wait for the next instalment!!

What a HUGE...WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!<br /><br />What a HUGE difference here, Shell, and KUDOS to Juan and his crew! As you know, this is very hard work, but the transformation is so well-worth it! Gosh, what a change! Last week, we too had a crew come out there with a chain and equipment to yank out our mistakes; on our hillside, we did exactly what you mention here not to do. We planted too many plants to close together and the result was a mess of creeping pines and Maney shrubs that became overgrown. We left nothing but the gorgeous boxwoods that survived. Then, both Ruben and I replanted only boxwood but this time, planted them further apart.<br /><br />Your cottage is absolutely charming, and I love the birdhouse addition. You are going to love seeing the birds come; we have one outside our kitchen window and Flo and Beau the wrens give us daily delight with their own "home improvement" shenanigans!<br /><br />Much love to both of you as you make your cottage HOME.Castles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391792078836906166.post-30717506441664570542017-06-21T05:30:53.797-04:002017-06-21T05:30:53.797-04:00Your home is so beautiful.
