The first chink is the landscaping. As in there is none. Which is a huge issue for me since I had finally gotten the last yard to where I could just enjoy it and it pleased me. This yard is certainly not pleasing. Let me show you...
At first glance, it's cute. We wish the shutters were replaced to give the vinyl siding some character, but they can be replaced later. Lots of trees here, unlike the other neighborhood and NO flowers! I'll suffer through the rest of this year, but next year there will be flowers!
The house faces south, which I like, but there are so many trees we won't get much sun on the flower beds. I'll be going from full sun to shade gardening. Should be a challenge.
Here's the side bed which is full of Lilies of the Valley. I will dig all of them out. To the right are three very overgrown bushes. So overgrown that you can't get the car down the driveway and expect to be able to exit said car. I'll chop and thin those!
Here is the Lilie bed from the "deck" you saw in the last picture. Lilies, burrs and pricker weeds...can't wait.
Lastly, here is the fenced-in back yard. Love that. Not having a fenced yard with two dogs is a night mare. I only have to patch a few holes and we're good to go. All the Daylilies on the side of the garage will be pulled and I'll put perennials from my other garden in there since that looks to be the place with the most full sun. (Except in this picture!)
