The Fruits of Our Labors


Rich and I put in a 15-hour day (30 man hours!) on Saturday to get our yard tilled, raked, and start the landscaping. We are about 2/3 done--we plan on filling in the rock bed, then making rock islands around the trees, too, with prairie grasses and some bulbs for spring. (we are getting the rocks from the ranch at the river bank).

The grass seed goes down this weekend and should take 5 weeks to look nice. You can see all of neighbors are doing sod, but we just couldn't see paying $1500 vs. the $60 for grass seed and fertilizer. We are so lucky to have such nice topsoil here. Everything seems to be thriving...we'll see.
