I have a few pics from Josh's house. I didn't get much done in Josh's yard last year. I did a few annuals and added a few nice plants to the shady area off the back porch. This year I hope to do a bit more expand on what I started last year. Josh has been pretty busy one of the larger inside jobs that he finished was gutting and finishing the downstairs bathroom and it looks really good. He started this project a couple of weeks ago it is the area outside the kitchen door, this is the entrance most used. This area didn't have much in the way of good plants growing in it. There were a lot of lily of the valley, vinca major, some spring bulbs, a very pretty azalea and a couple of Dogwood seedlings. Looks like there had been a tree in this area that had been cut down the rest was weeds. I went over a few weeks ago and showed him what was good and should be dug out (there wasn't much). After he removed the few good plants he covered the area with a heavy landscape fabric and river rock. Then he started rehabbing the brick patio area. It was pretty uneven, when he bought the house there were 4ft high weeds growing though a good bit of this patio. This is what the area looked like when Josh bought it 2 yrs ago.
