Over the years I&#8217;ve thrown a few trees and a row of blueberry bushes out in the pasture, but this year we get serious. \u00a0While I impatiently wait for a deck to be built, I&#8217;m making plans for a real lawn, an island planting bed, a nice path to the goat pasture and a fire pit. And, that&#8217;s just the beginning! I also want a few more raised beds for the garden along with a trellis for the entrance and some beautification efforts to clean up that area.<\/p>\n<p>And, somehow I also need to prep an area for a new furry friend. A bunny should be joining our family very soon. The bunny, some chickens and a batting cage are planned for our old garden area, but we may have to &#8220;chicken out&#8221; of the latter two for this year. The bunny can take over the old dog kennel without much effort and will get Joe off my back \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve taken my &#8220;before&#8221; pictures, I have a pile of clippings and book pages with ideas and I have a rough sketch of what goes where. Next step? Kill the weeds for the fire pit and big planting bed. I filled up my backpack sprayer and sprayed the outline of the areas and then sprayed the middle. After the weeds begin to die off, I will get out the tiller, truck in some dirt and have some fun. \u00a0In the meantime, hopefully Brian and I can dismantle that unsightly and completely unspringy trampoline.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for my backyard transformation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2010 is the year I get a backyard.
