Gardening

We picked up some herb plants yesterday for our garage side bed, and a couple of strawberry plants for the front. We're going to try and get some strawberries and blackberries going in the front of our house, because its the only area that gets a lot of sun.

At some point I'll be picking up some http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinca to act as our primary ground cover. I still want to pull out this bush http://www.marmontianderson.com/photos/displayimage.php?album=19&pos=2 but its huge, and I'm not quite sure how to go about it. Anyone know what it is? Its just stupidly placed.

After taking care of the ground cover and getting the berries in (and the herbs in the back) I'll play with filling in/making sense of some of the other areas. And we need to get that rain barrel set up - we found a better place for it directly under one of the gutter pipes on the back of our house.

I can't believe that our lawn already needs mowing! I want to get us a http://www.skychairs.com/order.php (or something of that degree) to replace the crooked tree swing that's in our yard. http://www.diabolis.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=204&pos=60

Sky Chairs are awesome, Avon's parent's have 2 and I love sitting in them. :)

How big is that bush? If you want to get rid of it, but don't want to throw it away, we could make a home for it at our house. The contractors killed a couple of our bushes, so we might have a big enough space for it.

After looking around, and someone's comment I think its a Euronomous bush (not sure if I'm spelling that correctly).

Its about 1-2 feet wide, and grows out fairly far (I trimmed it last fall and its back to where its in the pic).

I think I may end up calling my landscaper cousin for some help, to make sure I get all of it out, but its yours if you want it. :)
