The promised photos!
Click here for the before.
And, here's the after:
What should we plant here? A hill of pachysandra (beautiful, but boring), or a variety of shade loving perennials and ground covers? The bush in the upper right hand corner of the hill has beautiful flowers in spring, so we want to root a cutting and transplant it somewhere else. Where?
Click here for bushes before.
Here's the after:
Hopefully, there will be a cedar fence here by the end of the summer. I need to see more pictures before I can design it.
Click here for the before.
Here's the after:
This is our backyard bird sanctuary. They love this brush pile. It's unfortunate (for them) that is has to go. But we will be glad to get our yard back! The problem? Finding a way to dispose of it naturally--composting, mulching, etc. The borough will only take it as trash. Anyone have a wood chipper?
Our garden:
That's sugar snap peas, Maya, and basil.
Our strawberry plant:
Hopefully, we'll have berries next year!
The plastic is for killing weeds and seeds. It has to stay on for a couple of months to kill seeds within six inches of the surface.
Our compost bin:
It's an Earth Machine. We put hardware cloth underneath it to make it varmint-proof. Move along, rats.
More pictures later!

That's very tempting! We're going to fill our yard with Plants Formerly Owned by the Smiths. ;o)
I'd love some hostas!
