Landscaping in Retrospect

So a few weekends ago we took a break from working upstairs and we ordered what seemed like a ton of mulch for all of our planting beds around the house. We spend a lot of time this summer pulling weed after weed out of those beds (although our neighbors may beg to differ because we just couldn't keep up)! So, we decided to invest a little time and energy to mulch the beds and hopefully prevent so many weeds from coming up and requiring our attention in the spring. I can't believe how much better the planting beds look now with the mulch - it totally pulled them all together and made them look so much more polished. Although I am sure the pictures won't do it justice because all of our plants have died because it is so cold here already - hopefully you can get the idea. Funny think was that we had to shovel the mulch from the big pile in our driveway into our recycling container and carry it load by load to the different beds around our house since we don't have a wheel barrow. To bad a didn't get a picture of that!
