Glenn is a little obsessed with the lawn. Religiously he weeds, seeds, and fertilizes on a prescribed schedule that our local hardware store recommended to him. But the bushes tend to get neglected since I've never paid much attention to them and Glenn's more focused on getting our lawn to look like a green carpet.
Our house came pre-landscaped and like many lessons learned, we should have paid more attention to the spacing and placement of the newly planted landscape but of course we didn't. They've had seven years to fully take root and spread and one plant looks like a creature coming out from the black lagoon with arms and legs.
Glenn planned a full day of trimming the bushes, mulching, and seeding the lawn - the key word here is planned. He got about half way done with trimming with the electric hedge trimmer and then cut himself pretty darn deep. Luckily his digits were still attached but he was forced to take a break from yard work and go to the emergency room.
However, being as obsessed about the yard that he is, Glenn didn't let a near dismemberment stop him. He finished up the trimming and mulching when he got back from the ER.
Here's his finished product.
The front yard looks so much better! And more importantly - the Scary Swamp Thing doesn't look so scary anymore - sounds like a line from a kids story!
