Oscar and I have been doing some serious work to our backyard. We removed 8, yes 8, fruit trees, created some contour for a coming berm, cleaned out load after load after load of gravel, prepared 2 large areas for grass and plant beds, and tore apart only 1/2 of the rotten deck. We still have to bring in fill dirt for the berms, buy tons of plants to replace the fruit trees, and build a deck. Oh ya, and plant a garden. The owners before us build a nice fence around a huge section of blackberries, rather than doing some work to clean them up, they just covered them up. So we are going to make a garden once that mess is cleaned up.
