Operation Backyard - Update!

More progress to report on the backyard! Irish moss went down between the pavers, Japanese spurge was planted in a shady bed along with some hostas, hydrangeas now line the fence, the patio table is together, and we got impulsive and bought a few solar path lights at Target and stuck those in the ground. All in all, we're really happy with our hard work.

Just as a refresher, here's the "Before" picture.

Irish moss waiting to be divided and planted. Of course they were out of the smaller plugs so we had to take the kitchen shears to these...we're still waiting for them to spread to fill all the gaps (this is only ~half of them).

Most of the plants are in and the grill got delivered.

Table assembled - check! Hydrangeas planted - check!

 Solar-powered lights - check!

We celebrated the progress Friday night and tried a new grilling recipe: Balinese Grilled Chicken. We also made grilled pineapple to go with it, and it was amazing!
