This is our backyard. It had become over-grown. In April, I had saved a month's stipend to pay a worker to clear it out. I have since been working on getting out the weeds and helping the sprigs of St. Augustine grass along. The flowers are coming along nicely too. Occasionally we have had visits from a few colorful migratory birds - which I love. Out of pure enjoyment and in an effort to learn more about the soil, I volunteer about once a week in the evenings in a community garden growing vegetables.
