DI (almost) Y front Yard

Remember my goal to keep my yard all natural? Well, I've pulled a lot of weeds from my grass this summer. A few weeks ago I decided that my lawn needed something to distract the eye from the weeds. So, I bought some scrawny apple trees (inspired by a book my sister sent about turning your yard into garden), bushes and flowers that were on super sale, hired a guy to pull up the sod and then created a little "island" in the middle of the yard.

Apple tree island

(the rocks in the border once resided under my yard)

  1. Love apple tree island. Love planting fruit trees. Hate moving away from fruit trees I have planted. I have no vision. I can never make BIG changes like that. But I sure do appreciate them.
