More "year of progress" photos

A while back, we made a nice parking area out of grass blocks so that Chris would have a nice surface for parking his truck. It's also a good spot for turning around once cars come into our narrow gate. It took several trips to Home Depot to haul the heavy blocks, and more wear and tear on our gloves to carry the abrasive cement objects, but this area of the yard is now much improved.

I am also happy with the progress of our gigantic weed piles. A yard waste pile in the front yard was three feet tall, three feet wide and almost 200 feet long, but we have since removed the sprouting monstera roots from the pile, smashed it down with our dirt bikes and raked it into a very small pile about four feet by four feet. The other pile by the bananas also shrunk due to rotting, dirt biking on it, and finally using a chipper to get rid of a lot of the sticks. The chipped wood is now keeping our pineapple patch weed-free.


Our yard waste pile was pretty huge.


The waste pile today is much smaller and the area around the bananas looks a whole lot better as a result.


The new grass is growing through our grass block parking area.
