Nearly There

We've only been in the house 5 yrs, but most of the plants died out front b/c there was never enough topsoil over the clay. So we had to start all over.

Now, the front yard renovation is nearly complete. Just a few more plants and groundcover to add. Everything against the house is new, minus the trees - 42 plants in all! (CamO's hiding on the left side). And mulch on the burm is all new.

We salvaged a few acuba and moved them along side of the house where there's plenty of water.

This is the second (and third) planting of the 4 little pines. The deer have enjoyed our buffet!

We haven't figured out where this turtle came from, but she rested in the shade a while before moving over to the Messicks.
