This afternoon I went out in the back and PULLED out overgrown plants. I guess I should have worn gloves because now my hands are red and sore.
You can see below how much of the back ledge I've cleared now,
and how much I have left to do. The ivy and honeysuckle are alive and well.
This little cutie is a leftover from the former owners. I don't much like cupids or cherubs, but, Roxie, you can swing by here any time you want and pick it up since you do like them.
This birdbath is also a leftover. I may keep it if I can make it stable and upright and I'll move the bunny to the patio.
The Temple Flame bouggainvillea seems to be happy by the front steps.

umm... mumsy... if you truly don't want that cupid... *big innocent bambi eyes*
of course if you come get it and get here before Roxie does...it's yours
Oh, Like I'm going to take it home on the airplane in my carry-on luggage? Go for it, Sweet MaryRose!
What a load of weeding and clearing you have done! My gorsh! the new yard is looking lovely.
Sympathize about the vines, totally! If I didn't live 3000 miles away, I would take the cupid too. I'm not into cutesy stuff but that's a nice one.
Compost recipe:
50 lb bag of alfalfa pellets from the feed store, plain
2 bags of chicken manure
1 large bag of composted redwood bark
add a pile of leaves if you can find some, and whatever kitchen compost you can come up with, or else add another bag of something good.
Mix and stir for a week or two.
It does amazing things to a garden. This year I will make twice as much.
