I hope this will be an ok place to put this...
So I moved in 8 months ago, and always had plans to work on the flower bed on the right side of the house.
The previous owners, at one point, had a little garden / flower garden there, as there was some paver stones there and some roses and LOTS of mint in there, as well as some other things.
But, over time, it grew up with lots of weeds. The pavers were knocked over/fell over and it was just bad.
Today I decided to get at it.
That was where I was at around 1pm.
Worked on it for about three hours, mostly taking a garden rake to it. But also used a shovel to dig out the trench for the pavers to sit in, and a leaf rake to easily move everything to a large pile off to the side, which I now need to dispose of - compost pile probably.
I still have some work to go, but I really put a dent in it today.
I left some of the mint, as my mother is wanting some, so I'll spend some time tomorrow carefully digging it up and taking it to her.
I also left the roses in the back, not sure if I want to keep them or not.
I dont know what I'll put in there. Im thinking about some flowers or shrubbery, as well as some vegetables. I just dont know, this is all new to me.
I'll update further as I make more progress. I know that I need to get more pavers to finish off the line, dont know what happened to the ones that are missing.
Just wanted to share with the community.
