Have I mentioned before that I love landscaping? Well, I do. I can easily spend hour after hard working hour with dirt caked under my nails and mud stains on the knees of my jeans. I've actually considered doing it professionally in my next career.
I'm sure this love stems from the Saturday after Saturday after Saturday that my mom forced my whole family to work in the yard all through our childhood. Those memories of working hard, together, and only stopping to take a late afternoon lunch of tuna fish sandwiches has cemented in my soul a love of all things outdoor.
Which is why when I saw this photo on isuwannee I literally gasped. It is perfect. It is virtually clipped and added to my digital landscaping inspiration book.
Someday this will be in my back yard.

Fabulous picture!
It's cute than the entire family worked in the back yard...
There aren't many plants in that photo. And zero grass either. Are you sure about that one?
I know, I was thinking the same thing. In my pit I would surround the whole outside of the pit with a raised garden and maybe have some trailing flowers growing out over the lip...
This will only be one corner of the garden. I'd put it in the back like where the back section of mom and dad's garden is.
That's a definite improvement on the photo. Good inspiration. As far as lawn goes, given the previous generations' propensity to use round-up, we may be doomed to have little to no acutal lawn in our yards anyway.
PS. Did you hear the dimensions of Dad's 2 raised vegetable gardens? They're going to have veggies coming out their ears!
I clipped it too and added it to my file. I dig the lights and the patio/rock portion.
if you love landscaping so much come to our house when we move. We have a huge backyard with NO landscaping and I don't even know where to begin!
Wow, I would kill for a backyard that looks like that.
It probably credited them on the photo, but just in case it didn't, you do know where the chairs and little round cushion things are from, right? They're Ikea. Don't know if that's even a part that you like, but if it is, I thought I'd let you know they're totally affordable even though they look pretty high-end. There's my un-requested info for the day. :)
