Well, after purchasing the house over 2 years ago and living with the unbalanced bushes put in by the builder, I couldn't take it anymore. I had to do something about the yard. I rented a tiller, and realized that gardening in Texas involves a pick axe instead of a shovel. After digging in the backyard and finding an actual road underneath our yard, I thought the front would have been easier. HA!!!
I finally got around to putting in some native cactus's and plants here. Dave and I decided to put in a crate myrtle and a prickly pear cactus. These we learned from the Texas Almanac are the state plants. We searched for that prickly pear everywhere. I found a spineless one, but Dave had to have the real thing. We put some Yucca cactus's in the back yard, in response to the dogs trying to dig out!
So, here are some pictures of the new yard! I haven't finished the retaining wall, we need another layer. I am glad we are finished since it is now May and about 95 degrees everyday!
