Reclaiming real estate, lol

[Freedom]

We've had the veggie garden since we bought this house 9 years back. It was really Dad's fun project. I've had to handle it myself the past 2 eyars, and it is too much for me. This year I didn't get much yield, and the weeds really took over -- it looks like a jungle. So I've planted grass seed.

All summer when I mow the lawn, the clippings go in a pile we used for fertilizing the garden each Spring. The pile was HUGE! This is how it looked Nov 5th:

I spent several hours "moving dirt," so to speak. I put the clippings under all the evergreens around the house, and have reclaimed most of the real estate.

Amazing the space I've found, lol!

You remembered! Well, I suspect, being Italian and all, I will end up with a few, perhaps in pots? Will have to see how things go, lol.

Wow, Mom! Thank you for all this room to play!

Your little doggies sure seem to be enjoying their spacious new territory!

Yup! They immediately "christened" the area, ha ha haaa. :rolleyes:
