+Backyard Makeover - Day 31, Plantenance's Last Day

Day 31 - Today is a very monumental day. It is the very last day on the major part of the backyard garden makeover...the landscaping. This means it is Plantenance's last day. It's been a great experience watching them build our dream backyard! Steps to the vegetable gardea area. Fresh top quality brown soil. And, this got to be my favourite part of this area...river stone pea gravel. I love the sloshing sound of pea gravel. It reminds me of being in those gorgeous European gardens. Now, I can have my mini-slice of that heaven. I can't wait to plant some tomatoes, green beans, paprika, cucumbers, strawberries, basil, cilantro, etc... I don't have to wait until spring. I will be starting from seeds inside as early as February. So exciting!!! So, our frontyard is a bit of a disaster zone but take a look at how the vegetable garden looks like when approached from the front. I'm already thinking of a design how to create some sort of arch leading to the back. Maybe this will be a future DIY for the hubby and me. My lovely pea gravel, how I love thee!!!

Now that the main landscaping part is all done, the only thing left is to finish off the irrigation, to plant the sod and to install the hot tub.

To be continued...
