The transformation of my front yard is underway! Mike slaved away for several hours on Saturday, putting in a wooden beam retaining wall that takes out the major slope in the yard. Now I'll be able to start removing the lawn and putting in perennial plants and groundcover without erosion. I have yet to order the rocks (which will form a path curving around and holding down the remaining slope), or purchase all of the plants, but the biggest step is out of the way. Yesterday I bought two perennial decorative grasses (blue oat grass and maiden hair grass) and a wild blueberry bush, which I hope to plant as soon as I get the soil levelled out and some mulch in place.
