Backyard in progress

Jeremy has been working on the backyard the last couple of weeks. He has put in a low retaining wall, built a patio out of stones, a deck, a frame for roses to climb on, and planted various flowers and trees.






Bart extended the step on the back patio.





The poor Redwood Tree. It had a rough time coming home from the store. We hope it perks up soon.


Weeping Japanese Maples, Potato Vines, and my red Daisies that you can't see.


Sorry for the bad pic. It looks great in person!


The Roses


My dwarf Lemon and Lime Trees that will have to wait to be planted til after the Gazebo is up.

Thanks to all those who have helped so far(Greg, Bart, Kelly, Tami, John, etc.) We still have quite a bit of work to do. Hopefully it will be done in a month or so.

Looks GREAT Michelle! Way to go Jeremy!! Are you guys gonna have grass back there? Im so SOOO excited to see it in person! I think Corey and i are gonna buy a house in Georgia, cause its so cheap. We found one that WE love(well that we can tell in pics) for only 95,000, its carzy cheap!!!

No grass. Jeremy doesn't want it, and we are on a meter, so it will be cheaper in the long run if we don't have any. Besides, we have a big front yard with a lot of grass. Good for you Andrea! I wish my mortgage was for only $95,000!
