I spent two hours today cutting down blackberries. I feel like I really made a difference, as we can now see the chainlink fence.
The plan is to transplant a bunch of lilac saplings along the fence. They should grow up tall and look very pretty by next spring. *fingers crossed* hopefully.
There’s a ton of other things that still need to be done around the yard, including setting up the greenhouse my brother bought. Honestly, that greenhouse should have already been assembled months ago, but the yard was a bit overrun and my dad insists we can only put it in one, out of the way area.
Though if the greenhouse was smack dab in the sunniest part of the yard, I think we wouldn’t have such an issue with people parking by the side of the yard and mutilating our flowering bushes. I still have no idea what that lady was thinking–seriously, who rolls up on someone’s property and starts hacking away all the flowers to drag home? I don’t know, that seems like stealing to me. At the very least, it’s incredibly rude not to ask first.
