My passion is cars, the wife's is gardening

Shot this yesterday just after we took delivery of a full truck load of black mulch. Will get it spread today and tomorrow. Was very happy how nice the lawn greened up this year, it really needed lime to balance the pH and help the regular fertilizer do it's job. I had 2 versions of the same vid, as some said they couldn't view the first one that had some music dubbed in. Weird that I can view it... Here's both.

Guess the rest of you guys don't have to spend a lot of time doing yard work... Well when I help out with all the yard work, I don't get any grief about spending money on mods... after 7+ hours of work Saturday...

Nice looking landscape at your home. You obviously put a lot of time into it and it shows. Hopefully you have a riding lawnmower.

Thanks. Just last year I got a Craftsman ride on, a hand me down from a friend who got the full boat John Deere. I used to push mow all you could see with a little honda 22" SP. Would take me about 1:45 or so, more if I did the big rectangular area off to the side that looks raised up. That's a leach field for the community septic, so there's a guy that is paid to mow all the common areas including this part. More often than not I'll mow this too just smooth it all out so it looks nice, the kids like to play baseball up there so it's a little community service I enjoy doing.

We are extending the driveway where the mulch pile sits now as we will have 6 cars! The 2 Mustangs will be garaged, and my Merc will move outside, next to the van, oldest kids Beetle, and the college freshman's yet to be purchased car...

Once the flowers all start to bloom the gardens will look even more amazing... Happy wife = happy me.
