Green thumb

Since we moved to a house with a yard Peter has taken up gardening again. He is still in the process of killing weeds in our backyard but has done some great work in the front. Here are some photos but please note home depot was out of stock on the hedge trimmer so he hasn't done that yet!

Just one of the boys

Can someone explain to Peter that when there are several teenagers in our house they do NOT want to be hanging around with Dad...although in his defense they do say he's a "beast" (which is a very good thing).
