What a back yard!

As most of you know, Brian and I rent a townhouse in Norcross and we love the space that we have; but one of the major issues that needed to be tackled was the yard! The back yard is in a low-lying area that is heavily shaded throughout the day, so growing grass really isn't an option. When we moved into the house last year, our entire back yard was filled with white rock. Now, being the parents of a very energetic 4 year old, a white rock filled back yard was not very practical or usable.

I am thankful that I have a husband that knows what to do with a yard that you can't really do anything with. Although I would prefer grass over anything, mulch was the next-best thing! It was so pleasing to see Mason outside with his dump truck scooping up the mulch and moving it across the yard.

There are also three retaining walls leading down to the newly mulched area which will be the perfect place for a vegetable garden. Brian is excited to plant his jalapeño and habañero plants soon! I am looking forward to fresh green beans and herbs. Mason is a big helper when it comes to watering the plants!
