April 2002

Side view, looking north. Azaleas at top of slope. Thrift next, then foxglove (which didn't make it), flax, a few daisy fleabane, then mexican heather (which did survive). Also in the process of cleaning up the wooded area behind.

The back yard. I've been fighting Japanese stilt grass back here and was finally able to plant grass (fescue) last fall. Flowers/plants and landscaping the steep slope are next on my list of projects.

Left side of back yard if facing house. Lots of shade to work with.

Center and right side of back yard. The tree line is city property.

Right side of back yard. Here you can see the steep slope I have to work with. The green growing through this fall's leaf mulch is that awful Japanese stilt grass. Besides that I also have some clean up work to do under the deck.
