whoever lived in this apartment before us left us with a big mess in the backyard - dead grass (the little that was left), a dog run full of limbs and an old christmas tree, and rocks all over the place! we let the snow cover it up all winter, but after the dog came running in with muddy feet multiple times this spring, we just couldn't take it anymore!
thanks to some work (digging out old, horrible sod is not fun), a few trips to the dump and lots of raking and tilling we had a clean slate. using the rocks we dug up from all over, we divided out a section for a garden and threw down some sod.
how does it look?
(i mean..nothing compared to my parents yard, but at least it's not a mud hole in the back!)
we even bought a cute little reel mower (i know, eco-friendly, right?! :) and mowed it for the first time this week!
...now, if i could just get our vegetables to grow, we would be set! (i think i jumped the gun. amateur.)

looks AMAZING Jaci!
Looks good, Jac. I'm not sure if our vegetable will grow either, but I think we waited too long to plant. Plus, we're trying a few veggies we've never successfully grown in our yard before, so we'll see.
Wow! That looks fantastic! I bet you're loving your space back there. and I know what you mean about growing a garden- ours is struggling too. Great work!
It looks amazing! You guys did a great job!
That is so cute. Our yard looks like death... want to come do ours next?
I'm so darn proud! Just be patient with your vegetables, I bet they will turn out better than you think.
AMAZING! You guys did such a great job!!!!!
Looks really good, so much better! I actually love yardwork lately. I need to call you soon! Miss you
It looks fabulous!! Now I wish I had my yard done. I know how hard you worked and it looks amazing!
I bet your landlords love you! It looks great. Your veggies will grow if the sun ever shines for more than one day a week!
Jaci, you did a great job on your yard! I'll bet most people who live in apartments couldn't care less about caring for the yard. Good for you guys! Hope your garden is doing well!
Also, I just wanted to tell you how amazing your JUICY products are. Really. You are so beautifully talented and I am definitely going to order some of your goods for my little ones once I get a chance to sit down and really look at everything and make some decisions!
It looks great, hats off to you guys! I need to do a garden, I think I put it off cause Im scared of failure haha. You look great, hope your doing well! Enjoy your yard!
Great job on the yard. Someday you will have a yard all your own and it will be magnificent, but for now, I'm glad you care enough to better any place that you live!
This looks SO much better than when you first moved in! You've put in a lot of work for your place. I hope you stay to enjoy it for a while!
