Spring Cleanup Plans for the Back Yard


Today, I'm sharing some photo's I took the other day of the pathway behind the back porch.     The pathway is about 6' x 20' with the back porch on one side and an ivy-covered fence on the other side



Since this is the only path with a gate from the back yard to the front yard, we use this path all the time!



I moved the water tank to the pathway about 2 years ago with plans to make a potting bench out of it.....but all it has done is become a catch all!    



We need to clean the path up and try to give some charm.

The pathway will be a Summer project.....



This is where the path behind the back porch begins.....


I love the way the back porch looks,  but the path behind it needs a little work!    Wish me luck!



Now for a little stroll around the yard....

White Iris are in bloom

At the end of the flower bed along the back fence is beautiful Snow Ball bush.... 



The Snow Ball bush hangs halfway over the fence into the alley....



The Lilac bush only bloomed at the top before we had a late spring freeze that killed a lot of the other blooms.

I hope to make some progress over summer on the "Pathway" that I can share on my blog!

  1. I know that these are the 'before' photos of the path, but it's already so pretty! My favorite part is how the items lying around are decorative items - like the grapevine wreaths. It's such a relaxing space that promotes creativity, can't wait to see the after!
