Jeff Ircink. Fricken landscape ar-tist.

I've taken pictures of everything in the yard - flower garden, vegetable garden, kitschy shit in the flower beds, the "watcher" in the vegetable garden, rabbits chippys beetles, etc. Never took a picture of what this area looked like between my garage and the neighbor's. It was weedy. That flower bed to the left was already there.

I wouldn't compare it to the landscaping design of New York's Central Park (Daniel E. Sickles - New York congressman and Civil War general  initiated the creation of the park but gets no credit for it. Travesty!). The most difficult thing was moving my ass and getting it done. Rototilled it out (1st degree burn on my hand from the carburetor), raked it, put down two layers of that black garden tarp, then got six small loads of free wood chips from the Greendale dump (sorry, Department of Public Works) and VOILA! Looks a thousand times better.

I'm gonna go out and look at it again....
