The Taming of the Yard


Dead peach tree. Broken rotting bench.


Dead peach tree gone. Broken rotting bench gone. In their place is an old metal bench brightened up by a coat of Rustoleum Mambo Pink, in the gloss finish. The tree stump slice was a gift from the neighbors and makes a sweet seat or table for your beverage or a pot of begonias. Sturdy enough to put your feet up on after a round of yard work. Those little plant plugs are creeping thyme that will fill the spaces in between them with a lovely, fragrant, and drought resistant ground cover that tolerates some foot traffic. Not to mention the carpet of tiny pink flowers it produces. Next up, more plants to put in the front yard now that the juniper stumps have been defeated.
