Since summer is going to suck this year due to everything being cancelled:(, I thought it would be a fun thread to make since were all going to be spending a lot of time in our yards, patios, decks, balconies etc... so share your outdoor spaces/projects here!

Iā€™ve been seeing what I can do to make our front porch and back balcony a little nicer places to hang out. I redid the front porch yesterday. I used some plant stands/planters I rediscovered while decluttering and the old rug from our back balcony (which isnā€™t in bad condition, Iā€™m just putting in fake grass and no longer need it). Tossed some old beach towels over the worn/dirty cushions on the bench. Oh and I totally used fake plants, because I have a brown thumb and can never keep real plants alive :eek: Going to be doing our back balcony today!

Great idea April! No pictures yet, but I'll get there. We've been starting a veggie garden. Pretty good size, about 50X60 feet. Also, my honey-do list has involved building a chicken coop for our 4, now 2 1/2 week old, chickies. They get to be my wife's birdies. I have my hands full enough with my dynamic duo hahaha. Chickens are totally new to us, so it's a learning curve, but SOOOO much easier than parrots. Have to admit, those little girls are cute. Today is their first ever venture outside!

Ooooh chickens! Canā€™t wait to see these girls now! A million years ago I attempted container gardening. It turned into a plant graveyard. Perhaps once we have a yard we can try a vegetable garden again;)

Iā€™ve been focusing on outdoor spaces as well - theyā€™ve gotten a bit overgrown in past years and this year Iā€™m trying to catch up so I can enjoy them more.

If I keep working from home for a bit longer, and weeding on my lunch breaks....I may actually be keeping up with weed production one of these days!

This is pics of the spots that Iā€™ve actually weeded....Iā€™m still behind on several acres of planted areas. Although my veggie garden is in good shape and growing happily so far.
