The only thing I actually put effort into is our vegetable garden. There's a payoff there: food. Tomatoes, mostly, but also basil, carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, strawberries and asparagus (not much though, this is only year 3).

Well, I did recently do battle with underbrush (small trees and a TON of prickers) in the forested-but-within-the-fenceline area out back. I love that area, because the dogs can do their business there, not in the lawn itself. They're pretty good about that. By "doing battle" I mean going out there with clippers and spending ~2 hours laying waste (note: not timed. Betcha it was 1 hour). That's battle for me, after which I have clearly earned the right to drink tasty beer.
