OUR LITTLE GARDEN OF EDEN

Finally, some pictures of the NEW backyard :) it only took two weeks for it to be completed, but we were out of town when they finished and then when we came home it rained for about two weeks. We have been enjoying our new playground. KJ and RJ love to play in the pool and make mud cookies, while Greg and I fight non-stop with all the pest that seem to be taking an interest in our garden. It really is so nice to have grass, now I can send the girls out and not worry about them taking off down the street.

Garden is now complete and the base for the patio is in place

Curb for the grass and patio. It was fun to peek out the window and watch the little machine form the curb. I'm sure that the workers thought I was crazy when they saw me peeking.


Beautiful, luscious grass and brick patio are finished.


Completed back yard looking North


Grow little beans, grow



The garden complete with six tomato plants, green beans, cucumbers, onions, cilantro and a few other random seeds that the girls planted. We will see what grows :)

  1. WOW!!! What a change. It looks great. I love the patio and step coming out of the house. Looks like you'll have lots of good times back there.

  2. Who knew your backyard could look so great. It is such a great thing just to send the kids outside and not worry and I'm sure that your kids appreciate it too! Good luck with the garden... it is so rewarding. I don't think I will plant flowers because it is so much more exciting to watch produce grow.
