The House & Backyard Area
February 2002
There was a very old, no longer fruit baring apple tree in the backyard.
We removed this after the first season as it was evident that the tree was
past its prime. |

July 2003
I created a semicircle flowerbed by the back patio and a hockey
stick shaped bed along the back walk. In these I planted several
different iris', roses and all sorts of pretty perennials. The
semicircle has swamp Daylilies that were on the property when we moved
here and a Japanese Maple in the center.
Here you can see my next flowerbed in the making. I have since
decided that that very expensive black fabric is not worth it. The
weeds grow right through it. |

September 2003
After putting the black fabric down I mulched the entire area. Here
I am just starting the second path of flagstones. |

April 2004
I laid out my vegetable garden with pressure treated 2x8's and placed
drainage pipes around it to remove rain water. |
|
April 2005
The Redhaven peachtree and other fruit trees are doing well. I keep
the area between them well mulched and spread Preen around every 3 months
to keep weeds from germinating. |
April 2005
I have three climbing roses growing on the curved metal trellis.
They are Joseph's Coat, Spice so Nice and a rootstock that lost its graft
but looks lovely with the other two roses. I also have a row of
roses running along the flagstone path.
