Project: Fix the Yard - Step 2

In my last post I detailed how I was tackling the fixing up of my front yard. I've attacked the out of control weeds around the driveway with weed killer. I've cleaned out 95% of the weeds out of one of my flower beds and yanked out a bush that's been dead pretty much since we bought the house a few years ago. I also wiped down one section of my deck railing with vinegar and water, which has made the color go from a dirty green to a much nicer white (that still could use a fresh coat of paint.)

I didn't get a ton done over the weekend because of rainy weather and having to supervise a toddler who would love to run off down the street by himself. However, my mom and sister came over for a bit on Saturday, and we were able to get that hydrangea in the ground, as well as the pretty pink plant that I'd bought on Friday.

I still need to pull a few of the little weeds that escaped the first cleaning session. I'm hoping to be able to go buy some more vinegar tomorrow to start working on cleaning the rest of my railing. And once it stops raining every day, my husband can actually cut the grass and get up around the area that is going to be the worst to get to. It's going to be a huge pain to get in there and sort out what everything is and what needs to go, but I'm hoping I can start into it sometime this week.

We'll see how it goes!
