Variety Pack: Outdoor Version, Part Two.
Okey dokey, last we left off on our outdoor Variety Pack, I had finished staining the deck and was dismayed at the outcome.
What came next was a whole lot o' nothin'. I pretty well could not get outdoors for one reason or another so fast forward to late summer-ish into early fall.
In the big move out of my parents, Mike and I inherited a pair of their garden art pieces with a couple more to come. We got a cute little bug and a tall triangular piece.
Cute bug. Not sure if it will stay here or move to another area yet. Orange deck.....sigh....Mike was bright (ah ha, pun) and put a lit torch inside the triangle so it was glowing and throwing cool shadows everywhere and keeping mosquitoes away. Smart guy!
Triangle piece. Some of my planters did not do so great this year.We were planning the tall piece in the front yard but Mike's worried someone will steal it. Fair worry. It'd be nice out there so we'll see.
Next docket item was trying to improve our grass situation. Insert head shaking chuckles here. Constant weed struggle insanity we have plus I am entirely too sick of the yard looking crappy. It's come a long way, wow, yeah, but not long enough.
Here's the back yard before I gave this project a whirl.Wow, check out the comparison of the plants to last year, holy cow! Boy, they really really took off though in the photo above, they're past their big summer prime. ...
