The previous owners planted thistle (yep, you read that right!) in an attempt to attract Gold Finch. I'm not sure it worked, but boy did we have thistle, everywhere.

A couple of years after we moved in we tried making the area into a wild flower meadow. It was an incredible amount of work and it looked beautiful, for a year.

Then the weeds took over again and it's been a losing battle ever since.
So, a couple of weeks ago I began the reclamation process. It's hot, hard, stinky work, but I had fun at it. Light a match and burn baby burn!

The wildflowers looked great! I didn't realize they would be a lot of work. Hoping to see some great after pics when you have everything as you like it!
