Garden and Backyard

We dug up our backyard.  Yup.  Fortunately the weather has been nice enough that the grass has been growing in pretty fast.  We have been wanting to do this project ever since we moved in and the garage was finished it just kept getting put off.  The yard needed to be raised up to the concrete and we had to fix some drainage.  It was never grass anyways but a big weed patch. 

I also had Lucas dig out the lilac bushes and move them to the side of the house so I could expand my garden.  This area is now home to tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, squash, and grapes. 

Next to that I planted potatoes in a garbage can.

Grapevine budding.  Last year was the first that we had a few grapes.  There are already several bunches of grapes growing this year.  Yay!

The strawberries are already going strong and I've had to cut them back several times. 

In this area I have peppers, garlic, onions, butter crunch lettuce, radishes, carrots, arugula, snow peas, and romaine. 


Here's my trusty rhubarb.  I've already cut it five times this year!

Lucas also made me some pretty cedar planters that live on the patio for all of my herbs.  It's an ambitious garden and I'm hoping I can keep up!
