Lillly is delightful as she smiles, plays, eats and is very happy at the Birthday Party - 9/12/2010 - By Robin Kanouse
I built this one to support the old climbing Iceberg rose which was there before the fruit trees but now is pretty shaded by them. The two rwd 2by4's and the 2by2's on top are new redwood but everything else was scavenged from the torn down fence or water tower. The sprinkler which comes up here will convert to become a hosebib and water fountain.
The path way to the gate and the bit (just visible) infront of the covered firewood storage shed is decomposed granite. I still want to build a very small shed to store the lawn mower, shredder, wheelbarrow and wood cart.
I knocked down about 25 feet of fence which was about 8 feet in from the property line. When the neighbors got the city to repair the culvert where the creek passes under our street, they also extended the culvert several feet, creating a landbridge making our bank available to anyone passing by which isn't safe. So we pushed the new fence you see out to the property line and then jutted it out all the way to the edge of the creek to block entrance to our bank which would be unsafe for kids and a legal liability for us.
Some beautiful 19th Century ironwork!!! This is on South Main Street between some of the buildings. 11-16-07
Aspect view from Sketchup of my sideyard with four 4' x8' raised beds and a small shed for garden equipment.
The shed arrives tomorrow, the beds to be built over the next few weeks. Then soil, then gravel on all the paths to cut down on slugs.
What is this thing?
In the back left, you can see how they did not dispose of the 2 extra stones for the retaining wall. I am both annoyed at their lack of properly cleaning up, yet happy to get free stones. I'll call that serendipity.

When I got into the back yard it took my breath away. I knew how this garden would look when I designed it, but seeing it with my own eyes was really incredible. It is like a private paradise. There were so many flowers blooming I didn't know what to go look at first, but the massive blooms of the Henry Clematis caught my attention and I couldn't resist taking some macro shots of the gorgeous pure white flowers.

This is my spring project.
The front yard is complete except for a few missing plants. The rocks placed in the bed were a little larger than proposed on the design, so the plant material had to be shifted slightly. Originally, there was to be a place for annuals mid-way along the walkway, however the space vanished when the perennials had to be shifted. The Antique Carriage Edge gives a finished look to the walkway and keeps the mulch from spilling over the edge and creating a mess. It is held in place with edge restraint, and now the interlock will not sink or fall away at the edge.
I still remember putting a plastic lawn chair on this trampoline, which is on a concrete patio 4 steps up from the backyard, and finding the chair covered in kudzu 1 week later, wrapped through the slats on the back. Kudzu is unstoppable! Anyway -- trampolines and snow don't mix. Imagine slipping and falling!

A little sideyard sunflower down among the lavender spears on this lovely Thursday evening in Lorain, Ohio. Added this image to my next Still Life slide show, re-did the show to fit a piece of music I created earlier this afternoon. I like the show a lot better. Here's a sneak peek — it won't go up on cleveland.com for a week.
Added to the Kalish group because this is the "Altered States" show that contains some images of Ball State flowers.

I woke up this morning to a snow storm, we could get another 5 inches today.
Last autumn we were dry, we had not had a frost when this picture was taken but notice the lawn was completely brown. We ended the year being extremely dry so the snow falls of late winter are actually welcomed to replenish ground moisture. We will need a slow melt so the melt will sink into the top soil rather than just run off. The extended forecast doesn't give us a warmup until the beginning of April.
View of south yard. Sandhill Cranes wandered through the yard this morning. They were just off the front porch when I took the dogs outside (on leashes).. All were startled, none were harmed.

Along the wall are one of our nectarine trees, the pomegranate, feijoa tree, and a bunch of containers. The left wall is shared with our neighbor; our house is on the right.

Here is the back deck as seen from the sideyard deck. Angie and the kids look out at the pool. Love the ceiling fans; dislike the wires from the TV sets. If we do the bedroom wall knock down..this will be the master suite's deck. The deck either needs to be repainted or rebuilt. Decisions later on down the line. One thought here too, was to move the wall out by two feet to expand the width of the master suite. But now I see that would interfere with the door that leads into the two car garage. This deck has termites. Hoping that when they tent the house, they tent this area too. and repair the damage too. Then a fresh coat of paint will make this area real nice..along with some new patio furniture...more $$$ signs! Cant wait to hang some butterfly and hummingbird friendly plants up too! oh excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have three maple trees in our yard. One has green leaves that turn bright yellow in autumn. The one shown in this photo has dark red leaves that turn this lighter red/orange colour in autumn.
The other, we believe to be a cross between the first two. We discovered it many years ago as a tiny sapling growing against the fence between our driveway and our sideyard, midway between the first two trees. We transplanted it into the backyard and its leaves are a red-tinged green turning an orange-tinged yellow in autumn.

7.5 yards of triple mix was dropped on the driveway in the morning and the entire day was spent bringing soil to the back yard. Originally, the excavation was to be at a depth of 4" however the existing clay subsoil was so dry it was like cement and therefore the excavation only went to a depth of approximately 3-1/2". This meant that the 6" layer of triple mix would sit higher than originally anticipated, plus the fact that even after compaction it would still take a while to settle. We had installed fence boards around the perimeter of the yard to keep the weeds and grass from the neighbours' yards from invading the garden, and also to prevent the triple mix from washing out.
This is one of the best things about chicago - the gangways. Given our current zoning laws and rapacious development (now perhaps slowing a little) these are becoming fewer and farther between, but they are so dramatic and personal expressions of city life - and one that is more or less unique to Chicago - that I don't know how to express what I find so exciting about these space to someone who doesn't live here.

This is what I call my back side yard and contains many unique conifers and plants. Low voltage lighting really makes it pop at night time.
Our most recent install down in Sea Isle City, NJ. Another happy beach customer who doesn't have to stare at sand or river rock in the backyard!
