The weeds and brush come about waist high.
Over the past few weeks, I've slowly been clearing it out. I'll Roundup one area, wait a few weeks, clear it out, pile the dead brush up in small piles and then burn them up. Then I'll move onto the next area. Here is the progress I've made.
Well, if I want to work in the back, I either have to walk all the way from the front yard to the back, or I can just hop the fence. I usually end up doing 50/50 of both. Today, I had to fill up some buckets with water because I was about to burn some of the brush. Instead of carrying the full buckets from the front yard to the back, I just flung the hose over the fence to start filling up the bucket. After filling up the bucket, I had to jump back over the fence to turn the water off. Combine the fact that I was in a hurry and the fence was wet, and let's just say, I wasn't too graceful. Here's what ended up happening.
This is one of the few times it actually hurts worse than it looks. Anyway, after this little accident, I finally decided to quit procrastinating and solve the problem. Here is the solution.
No more jumping over the fence or walking around the whole yard. I'll just use the gate. It's only 2 years after I originally decided to put a gate in...great turn-around.
