This is taken from above the garden shed (formerly the birdroom). Looking West down the Northern fence line, above the creek.

The Front edge of the front

Taken a couple of summers ago, this is my favorite flower picture. There are two types of purple vetch that grow in our sideyard/gully - crown vetch and this kind who's name escapes me.

 

One summer my dad decided to mow down the entire sideyard (full of wildflowers, which I love) and I cried. Regardless, everything was back the next summer in what seemed like double quantities. Sweet revenge.

Prepping the the roof for some garden space

The gang evaluating the coop.

The broken brick pieces from the chimney we dismantled have joined our driveway. The whole bricks got stacked up for later use.

Prior to putting in the fence between our yard and the neighbor's, the side of our garage was just a lost space. But now that we do have a fence? It's a whole new expanse of yard for us to work with! When we put up the halloween lights on the fence a few weeks ago we got the genius idea to put some grapevines at the backyard end of the fence. And some rhododendrons next to the garage. And a mulch path down the middle of the alley. And we already have the mulch -- the giant heap of woodchips at the back of the yard that's all that's left of the black locust tree that got struck by lightning.

Connecticut tumbled bluestone with Thyme growing in between. In the summer the Shasta daisies provide a cheerful welcome.

The never-photographed view of the side yard, taken today out of a fit of nostalgia from looking at old pictures of the yard (which we photograph not nearly often enough). We're so glad the septic people didn't take down the gum tree or the holly copse!

Some that got left in the ground are growing up nicely!

Zebra and Maiden Grass

Hoed the bed and added compost, worm castings, and then planted. Some are still growing in paper cups...to be transplanted later.

John managed to grab on of the chicken after a brief escape attempt.

Views into the White garden which has replaced the wildflower meadow which was so much trouble to keep up in the side garden.
