My Yard Looks Bleak.
I've spent so much time and money on my front yard that I've forgotten about the backyard, until recently. I've begun my annual summer weed 'pull and poison' and you know I'm really digging the hot, humid weather I get top do this in, not! I've trimmed my two large orange trees and one grapefruit tree back to a Tim Burton looking landscape. If that's not bad enough, the once pristine white and beige metal shed I house my yard equipment, tools, and organics in is now mostly orange from rust. I think Mother Nature misheard when I said I like a 'rustic' look, not rusty! I was contemplating getting a new plastic shed but with the hurricanes down here, when they do hit, it wouldn't last very long indeed. I'll have to do a metal building, most likely steel, that I can anchor down to the soil. Soil, that's a good one, Florida has sand and that'll take a long anchor or three. This time I'm going to put some sort of cheap ceramic tile on the 1/2 inch plywood floor to keep the citrus rats from chewing through the wood for winter living. Where did they go before the shed was there, let alone the house? Now I can start shopping for prices. That'll be fun to do during the summer!
