My poor plant

[christopher575]

It has awesome orange, yellow, and white flowers, but the petals keep getting blown off, just like with our cherry tree.



The yard's looking great, though. I tried to mow on Friday and could only get about 2/3 of the way through. I've only mowed a few times and couldn't figure out why it kept stalling out. Garrett adjusted the wheels or whatever and made it look fantastic yesterday.



Bonus attempt of a shot at the view across our neighbor's yard. That's the view the cats get when they hang out on the upstairs tower.

my neighbors have really nice yards too and it's such an inspiration to keep mine up too. Your yard looks really nice!! Isn't mowing fun? I call yard work a "two-fer" one for exercise and the other for home equity/curb appeal. It's like buying beets and using the greens too

Our neighbor on the left side in these pics has a super nice yard. You can just barely see the other neighbor's yard in the panorama, which is fine with me because it's fugly. His lawn is mostly yellow moss. Wouldn't really bother me, but our back yards aren't separated. It's kinda funny how there's a line where our grass stops and his grass/moss starts. His roof is also really bad, which is surprising since he said he was a contractor.

I don't think I'll mind mowing once I get the hang of it.

ugh that's awful!!! I hate ugly roofs.

We recently had our yards de-thatched, arriated (spell) and re-seeded and it's a slow process but it's going to look so good when it's done. Right now our flower beds are beautiful and our yard is meh.

Our lawn was pretty mossy and we just did one treatment of those moss killer pellets and it looks so much better.

ugh i wished that worked for us! we tried hard last summer to fix the moss and this year zach decided to have a yard crew try their hand at it.
