Last year in the fall, I cleared out the south facing side of my house. There were about 6 "hedge bushes" lining our garage. I first cut them to the ground with a chain saw then -painstakingly- removed the stumps. Now, in their place are 5 Hybrid Tea Roses.
I named them after the females in my life. The middle one is named "Boom" because it is red and the center. The rose to its right is Malia - yellow and bright just like my daughter and the other three are named Babci, KuhnYai, and Jessica. I think Malia is going to do the best.
I also began to remove all of the nasty overgrowth in the back yard. Here is how it started :
Then, with a little help from my wife, here is how it looks today - notice the grass seed. My next little project is going to be to add a scarecrow right where the pole in the yard is.
As a frame or reference, this is how the landscaping looked when we first purchased the house :
