Weed pulling

In addition to working on a costume for Michael, he helped me pull weeds along my drive way.

Before:



As you can see the flowers are completely being choked by the weeds and such that has been growing there.

Then after 2 hours of pulling and digging . . .

After:



Tada! We have a side garden that looks relatively clean. While we were pulling, we ended up pulling some things that looked like weeds but ended up being flowers, and left some weeds that we thought were flowers except when we went for a second look.

One edge down, 2 full yards to go. We've got a lot to do in order to get things working in the back yard. We've got to kill everything that is back there so we can pull them up, then rototill the ground, add the nutrients and re-sod. I was hoping that we didn't have to re-sod but nothing came up that is grass and from what I can see the previous owners didn't care about the yard. We've also got to fix the fence (front and back), add some slats, re-stain the fence and the front stairs, strip and paint (or replace) the door, and finish the front yard.
