I hate yard work. Thankfully, my DH likes it. We didn't do mulch this year, thankfully, because I usually help with that. The hostas are up and out; we have to put some annuals on the garden steps. Yuck.

Once this work is over, I mostly just have to water the flowers. They're almost all perennials and require little care (well, I could put more care into them, but I don't). I am trying to add some plants each year so that the beds eventually have that English cottage look. DH does all the lawn care--until leaf raking season. Then it's all hands on deck.

Our landlords have done nothing with the back yard -- it's a crappy, weed-infested lawn edged with leggy, tired perennials. I'm drawing up a concept plan this week to run by them, hopefully they will approve it and we can start bidding it out next week.
