We started digging out curved beds on both sides of the yard.
Max isn't much of a help, but he keeps you company!
He loves "his" yard.
We're planning to put a double brick border along all of the beds.
Our first and smallest bed...now it has lettuce and shrub roses in it, but this was before we planted it up.
good soil...
A new climbing rose along the new fence.
One of our old roses that we brought from the carriage house garden - see all the new sprouts!
The lilies that we brought are coming back, too!
We put pansies into window boxes along the deck. James wanted purple and yellow b/c those are his fraternity colors!
Our peonies are coming back, too - they're growing fast now.

Thanks! Yeah, this is my busy season of the year (through April), so I can only do it when I have the time.
The fence was really expensive - we paid almost two thousand dollars, and it wasn't even that big of a fence. It is really a good one, though, and that was the lowest estimate that I got.
There is stuff that you can spray on plants to keep the dogs off it. We used to have that problem with Max, too, and then we got this stuff at Petsmart called "bitter yuck." It's clear and odor-free, but it tastes gross. He HATES it, so I spray it on everything when he's feeling chewy. It instantly breaks him of the habit.
The fence is so nice but I think my favorite is the brick edging on the flower beds--beautiful! It won't be long and you will have flowers everywhere! Don't you love Spring?
