Dipping a Toe into the Garden Re-Vamp

As you saw in the outdoor space tour, we have a TON of landscaping to take care of.  It was beautiful outside this weekend, so I thought I'd give some gardening re-vamp a try while Frank cleaned the gutters (which were actually pretty clean so it was a quick job!).

Here's the before pictures of the space I wanted to clean up:

... and here's the after!  What do you think?

I know it's a bit bare for now, but at this point we're just trying to clean up and get the weeds out.  I'm sure down the road we'll either finish the entire space with brick/patio, put down stone, or maybe add some flowers.  We'll have to see how the rest goes first!
