Pre-Season Garden Tour

These days I'm all about keeping my blog posts real. My home is as perfectly imperfect as yours. Some areas I love and some areas need attention.  When it comes to my garden, I never know what I will find at the beginning of Spring.

Let's do an evaluation together.

This is the vegetable garden that needs renovating.


The wood raised beds have decomposed.


The weeds are out of control.


This side needs more plants.


This is the back of my property. There is a chain link fence that surrounds the yard. I want to plant more evergreens against the fence. This area could look more lush.


Here you can really see how unattractive the fence is.


I would like to find something that will help keep the deer out of the yard.





The window boxes on the shed need fresh plants.


I have dug this weed out so many times....it's time for some weed killer.


This nasty weed has spread like crazy. I am not sure what I am going use on it....any suggestions?


Looks like Snowplow Jim's plow was set a little bit low. 


I need to rake this back into place.


It's a bit early, but I think the lavender that I planted may have survived the winter.


The white hydrangeas always look dead, but come back strong.


The Daffodil's look beautiful, and the Iris's need a clean up.


 I have tried to love these grasses over here....but I still don't think they work in this spot. I think I'll move them somewhere else.


This area needs a groundcover.


That's what my garden looks like when I start a new season. Have you made any gardening plans for your yard?
