We placed edging around the landscaping on Mother's Day (thanks Papaw!) then added more mulch. It makes it look much more "done" and is easier to mow around. That's what Dustin says anyway! :)
The mailbox looks much better with edging and mulch around the clematis. These pictures were taken last week so I've been working with the clematis the last few days to try to make it lean less to the left. It has gotten a little better. I need to put some annuals in to fill up some of the space too. Maybe this weekend...
