Our friends A and H brought us a free pallet to plant some things in. We're forever grateful! We have limited space, as evidenced by our other container plants. This pallet made it possible to garden in our driveway! Woot!
You've seen the updated, planted pallet. Here is what it looked like after we moved a few boards around and put landscaping fabric across the back.
Another huge project around this time was to weed and re-plant in the little area between our neighbors' and our house.
The area was overgrown with creeping buttercup and bindweed (morning glory). It was awful. AWFUL. We have always had good intentions about remedying the weed situation, but we also knew it would take A LOT of work. Last summer we started on the project but were quickly defeated.
Not this time!
Kraig and I weeded the entire bed and put down a weed barrier, then our neighbors topped it off with bark mulch and put in some plants, rocks, and other decorations. It was my idea to do a sort of succulent garden towards the front (by the curb). It looks great!

We love it so much, and it is already filling out so well. In a few years the plants will look so lush and beautiful!
