Okay so I haven't posted in a while, but you know how summer gets, all crazy busy! Its time for an update on my Big Epic Project. Which is getting rid of all the buckthorn in my wooded yard. Here are some before and after examples of an area that I have mostly cleared out by the side of the garage.

And here are the after pictures! |
As you can see it looks pretty bare now, but that is why it is necessary to get rid of the buckthorn because nothing else can compete with it over time and all the native plants will die out. I did plant a few baby trees, bushes and flowers that were volunteers from other parts of the yard after I took these pictures.
