In Seven Years

 There are three pictures showing our front yard  at different stages within last seven years.

Top picture made today. That's how front yard looks now. (I just put fresh two cubic yards of mini red mulch on it).

Photo in the middle made a little bit more than two years ago in March of 2022.

And bottom picture is form April of 2017, right after we converted green lawn to garden.

Five Years Later

 

These two photos of our house are separated by five years. Upper photo I made today, and bottom photo I made in 2017, when we finished conversion of our lawn to yard.  (I published post about that conversion project at corresponding time:  https://www.jumbleview.info/2017/12/ten-months-apart.html )

Obviously there are a lot of changes: mulch lost its shiny look and reddish color (time to add some fresh mulch), but brushes and trees grown higher and wider.  Some plants did not grow well and needed to be removed, but some new plants replaced them.

When I started the project I have no idea how I will maintain yard (my experience with landscaping was near zero).  How I am doing? What do you think?
