Front Garden and Back Final Additions

We added a Wishing Well to help the back yard look good to potential buyers.

This is a grass plant I bought for the corner of the yard in the spring. It has really grown this year. When it rains, it perks up higher then the fence.

We are up for sale! Do you want to buy a house?

Front garden bed is growing really well. We added the bricks in the spring. Wow-did they ever help me keep the weeds out. We planted 3 kinds of flowers, and then 2 other kinds came back from last year.

Here is the front entryway and the rose bush. I just watered, can you tell? That white square on the second step is just where the water didn't hit the cement. We also mulched really well two times this year.

Final Box Post

In getting ready to move, we haven't spent as much time on our boxes as we would like. Here are their final pictures.

Box one got a make-over to help the house sell better. We up-rooted the tomato plants and planted some flowers and oriental peppers in the back and some radishes up front. I was limited on time so I didn't thin the radishes like they needed, but oh well, they were just for show anyway. I chose to plant radishes because they grow so fast. They sprouted in just 4 days!
Box 2 needs some tender loving care. It is the end of the season for the cucumbers and they all need to be up-rooted but that will be the next home-owners project. I'm keeping the vines up for show. The carrots are also for show. We still have one tomato plant there in the back that is producing. It has a lot of flowers so it may come back now that the mean summer heat is gone.

Here is box 3. The bell pepper are still producing! And the canolope is doing just fine. As you see, that is pretty much it. Yes, those are green beans in the back, but they are non-producing. Our rabbit even stopped eating them. I wonder why??


And Box 4. So sad, our corn just didn't do well. It burned in the summer heat. If I was staying, I would have this box cleared by now. Yet I don't want an empty box for showing so I put a scare crow out there and am leaving the stalks up as a fall decoration.
