More Weekend Projects

Here's what Keith did this weekend. Yes, he is still working on the backyard, too, which may get finished sometime this decade.

I had seen these evergreen trees over at walmart for only $10.00, which for a tree is a pretty cheap price. So, along the side yard they went.



These trees are supposed to get 8-12 feet tall (if they don't burn up in the hot sun and die, that is) and are low maintenance (yay), so someday we'll have a nice privacy screen and shade on the driveway.

We had summer this weekend, temps got up into the 80's and 90's, and are supposed to get near 100 today. What the heck? It's only April. I even turned on the air conditioner last night before we went to bed to cool off the house a little. A week ago we had a cold front coming through and almost turned on the heater.

Awesome deal for 10.00, just water lots. Just found your blog in the Etsy forums, look forward to seeing the progress on your back yard. I have started a garden blog to post all things gardening and my projects as well. thetinygarden.blogspot.com.

Looks like that was a lot of work. Even with small trees it's a job to set them out! They look great where you put them.

Great deal! They look nice by the driveway like that. Let's hope they do well!
