I’ve been sharing sneak peeks on instagram of how our backyard has been shaping up over the past few weeks! I literally feel like each weekend that is all we do. It has been a lot of fun, but also a great deal of hard work including lots of sweat, wearing my garden boots, and getting my hands dirty.

Over the past few weeks we’ve…

-Re-edged our garden beds
-Mulched all the garden beds and around trees, etc
-Pulled Weeds and Sprayed Weeds that are filling garden beds and our lawn
-Planted lots of annuals and bulbs in pots, also a few hanging baskets and bushes
-Got more outdoor furniture from Ikea
-Added outdoor accessories
-Added outdoor curtains
-Cut the grass and trimmed edges multiple times
-Sprayed the lawn for bugs

So what’s left to do…?

-Finish owning the weeds in our lawn
-Re-seeding bare spots
-Get a fire pit
-Invite people over (lots!)

Here is a view into our backyard and where we can’t wait to spend all summer long in the evenings and weekends. PS if you want to come over, just let us know – we love to grill out and I love me some s’mores!

And a few things that are blooming around our yard…

Next up… Kitchen progress! I literally am itching to start this right this second!
