This is our front yard. We never got around to doing much in the front. Janie put in the boxes and (tiny) blueberry bushes. There’s a rhubarb patch in there, but it’s hard to see. The squirrels and birds planted the sunflowers. We never really planned on having a yard, so I (Brad) refuse to buy any sort of lawn mowing device. I figure, next year we’ll plant something that doesn’t require mowing. So this year, the yard looks a little rough.
This is how we trim it. Seriously. It’s not as bad as it looks. Today, one of our neighbors saw me hacking at the yard with my clippers and came over with a special present he found in the garbage (how did he know we like things out of the garbage?).
Works like a champ (once you use the clippers to hack the grass down to a reasonable height). I forgot to take an “after” photo. Imagine: the yard looks better, but still doesn’t look good.
Any suggestions for the front yard for next year? It’s a southern exposure so a moss garden is out (sorry Becky). We like: edible things, (relatively) low maintenance, & conceptual art.
