When my daughter and I restarted this blog, I decided to show first our side and back yard gardens and pathways because they are the latest areas that we have been working on. They have done very well this year but, as every gardener knows all too well, disaster may be just around the corner! So, while they are looking so good, I wanted to start with those areas. Beginning with this post I will try to show some of our front yard. There wasn’t much here when we moved in except for some dead-ish grass, a couple of oak trees that were in the process of dying and some hemlock trees used as foundation plants. Although we had to take down the oak trees shortly thereafter, we really didn’t start any landscape improvement projects for a few years. We needed that time to settle in, and then begin to learn what plants worked in an environment that was totally new to us.
