Used to be something, soon it's detritus
The concrete track on the right goes all the way to the gate. This is a favorable spot for a planting bed and the concrete track has to go. Chunks of concrete jut out of the ground between the tree and the corner of the porch. This creates a hazard for the lawnmower and inhibits the growth of the lawn here. As part of the fall rehabilitation of this planting bed and this area, I will have to pull up the concrete from the gate to about the first crack in the drive in the front yard. That will do for now. Eventually I want to get rid of this drive when we have a carport in back. The property line runs down the middle of this drive. I could see having a hedgerow or a short picket fence here, or maybe both. That will be something for the next year's fall projects.
