We Need More Grass Seed !

 
Spot in the front yard where Terry pulled out the largest stump ever recorded.
 
There was a giant evergreen shrub here, which had to be removed for the privacy fence.
 
More grass seed needed.

 
Now we're working on this section of the yard; front yard, and side yard. Took out two giant old evergreens in the front, and lot's of scrub material in the side yard. Timbers, bricks, asphalt shingles, and rocks !!!
 
So many rocks. We're going to straighten this area up, keep some rocks here (low maintenance), and already planted a Crepe Myrtle in the corner.
 
Then more grass seed...

 
Out in the front yard, we spent the entire evening fighting English Ivy. About a 12 x 12 sq. ft. area of stubborn, deeply rooted ivy. The surface shoots are gone, and now comes the digging out of the root systems.
 
This isn't like on TV, where the magic crew comes out during the commercial, and when they come back, it's all beautifully landscaped... 
 
This is the real, and painful deal.
 
Once we get all of the ivy out, I will small up the garden area, plant a Dappled Willow on the corner, and a Butterfly Bush next to the brick. Then fill in with grass...
 
More grass seed !!!
