2 Years Later

2 years ago today, I posted a 360 degree panorama movie of our back yard. Today I created an updated panorama for comparison. It’s amazing how much everything has grown in 2 years.

Please ignore that the grass needs to be mowed. We’re just happy it is so much healthier than it was 2 years ago. The beds are finally filling in, and the trees are maturing nicely. Many of the trees and shrubs seem to be twice as big as they were in 2009.

I had just installed the playground back then, and hadn’t finished the mulch or edging around it.

Some pictures Katra took of the garden:

Our red, white and blue planter

Bumblebee on the salvia

The plantings around the base of the new Prairiefire Crabapple tree. With the exception of the small zinnias in front, these were all moved in from other locations.

Spring, at last.
