Summer Project - A New Fence

We have needed a fence along the back of our property to help give us more privacy.

Last summer Mitch and Jonathan put in the posts.

This summer Jonathan put up 1/2 of the cedar fencing across the middle part of the yard.

Next year we will finish the rest...it is a really long fence!

Summer Project - Pergebo Floor

PERGEBO - Combination Pergoda and Gazebo = our Pergebo!

We have a corner in our back yard we have turned into a sitting area. It has a swing and air chair in it. I have wanted a stone floor in it. Casey, our son in-law said he would like to do it. So Shayla, Casey, Kalea and Ben found the rock east of town. Casey installed it. He did a great job!

In the winter when I have more time, I would like to post a picture history of each of the area's of our yard. It is quite amazing to see transformations of each area.

Summer Project - Tree Stump

In our side yard area we had a huge pine tree. We had to cut it down because it was planted to close to the foundation. It was rubbing against the house and ripping off shingles with it's branches. It was making the soil around it pretty sterile. Last summer we had it professionally cut down. It was a huge tree and a big job.

This summer, our son in law Ben decided he would like to dig it out. WHAT A PROJECT! It is out and I love having that area free from that stump. Below are pictures from that day.

Gardening In Idaho

It is fall and soon there will be a frost.
The snow will come soon and put all my flowers to sleep.

I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago so I can study them in about February and make garden plans for next spring and summer.
