Mapleton - Where Mr. Plumbean lives.

Here in cyberspace is my garden and my neighborhood. I've wanted to share my yard and my neighborhood with those who don't get to come by and see it on a regular basis. This place I call home is very special.

I took the photo above earlier today. This is the empty lot next to me where I've stashed a salt lick for my friends. Today they were hopping like bunnies.

To start this thing off, here's the before and current photos of the process called my yard. It starts with a photo taken before I even purchased my home, and this blog ends with photos taken June 22nd. . .

September 2007

Uma inspecting the new yard. . .

In October of 2007 the water main burst in my front yard, 6 feet underground. All the plants I had just placed and the rocks I hauled in had to be moved and this hole was dug. .

In March 2008 I started to fill in the gaps in the lawn where
the infrastructure upgrades had occured.

Here is the garden in April 2008. I mixed in peat and goat manure.

Here is the front as it looks in June 2008.
