Day 3 /365 - Front Yard BEFORE



This is what a front yard in Colorado Springs looks like if you don't weed, fertilize and care for it. . . . for the past 4 years, I've only mowed and occasionally fertilized and the sprinkler system has been broken more often than working. Well, THIS is the result - we didn't have a yard; we had a small ASPEN Grove! LOL

Aspen trees, evidently, are the oldest living organism on earth and are all from the one, original root (or so local legend tells me). So, the original small stand of Aspens in our yard just grew and grew! When I finally called out a landscaper this year to ask advice because there were so many roots in the yard the grass wouldn't grow - the radical solution was to remove the top six inches of our yard and start over - those photos for tomorrow. Hugs to my 365 friends - Kat
