No more weeds PLEASE!

Before



During



After






A few months ago we FINALLY had our backyard landscaped. We have lived in our home for 3 years now and have just picked away at our yard paying as we went. It feels SO great to have lawn in the backyard for the kids to play on and a HUGE sandbox. Eventually we plan on buying a jungle gym with swings and slides etc...We are hoping next years tax return will cover that. Any hew...I planted a little garden as well but the weeds have taken over...Once we get it weeded and lookin' perty I will take some pics to blog about. One more thought....Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep cats out of the sandbox? The kids have had a blast playing in the sand for days on end but we have noticed a few surprises now and then...nasty! I have heard there is an herb you can sprinkle in the dirt that keeps them away but I'm not sure which one...any suggestions?

I think ammonia works, but I'll have to double check with Shauna. Where there's sand there are cats!

how about strict 9 (is that how you spell it?) he he...good luck with that...cats and sandboxes are usually inseperable.
