Today, we began working on the front garden. I've been pulling weeds (and poison ivy) for the past month, but this was our first real beginning. We uncovered a bees nest - awesome. I guess they live IN the ground. Poor Sushi jumped a foot and ran for the hills. He's fine.

We pulled weeds, top soiled and mulched. We didn't take a "before" picture of the section we finished, but here are 2 "after" pictures. It was COVERED in weeds. Keep in mind, this is one small section in the front and we have a lot to do before it's finished. I like the red mulch. Good choice, Matt!
