Tackling this yard.....AGAIN.....

We have one heck of a backyard...and are at it once again. Last year we were not able to do much with it, and so we just tried to keep the weeds controlled......I must say they they are stubborn little things. In the last few years we have had a bobcat, sprayed, mowed, sprayed, pulled, sprayed again, dealing with mice and gopher holes.We knew this would be an on-going project being that it is big, so since it was pretty good weather we were able to get out last weekend and clean up the old and new weeds on the canal side of our house. Then we layed visquine (sp?) to help prevent more weeds. We are hoping to "dry-scape" that area soon, and sod. This picture is just showing part of the side of the house....It looks so good now! :)

This other picture shows some grass we already had, we are hoping to go further with sod. We will gradually have grass for our backyard and are going to start a garden too. I am so excited to start on these projects, and hopefully allergies will continue to let me!! :)
