It&#8217;s a hassle to mow, with rocks peeking out of the ground along the edges as well as a large rock just at the corner. And it&#8217;s really boring to look at. For a spot that we walk past every time we come home, it really isn&#8217;t well utilized.<\/p>\n<p>First step: remove the lawn. I was expecting this to be relatively arduous, based on past experience. The soil here turned out to be light and dry, not at all like the clay to the left of the stairs, and the grass is thin and weak. So I got all this done much faster than I had thought.<\/p>\n<p>Next step: figure out what to plant. I had this spot marked as deep shade in my head, but it was full sun while I was digging this afternoon. But of course that&#8217;s because the cherry tree is bare right now, and will change in just a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_4\/3010_lawn_gone.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my eternal project of removing lawn and replacing it with better things, I&#8217;ve now tackled the bit just in front of the house, to the right of the stairs.
