Our Yard

Here are the pictures of our yard. This was the reason we bought this house. We wanted a larger yard. We have done a lot of work out here also. We have pulled out a ton of plants and brought in dirt, then re-planted.

This shot shows the "dark" corner of the yard on the left. It is where we keep our wood, garden supplies, compost bins and other things we don't have a place for. There is a little shed in the middle attatched to the house.You can also see our little deck and our blueberry bushes on the right.

Here are some of our yard toys. The swing set and some slides. Again the blueberry bushes are on the right (for some perspective).

Here is another shot of the toys. (blueberry bushes on the left, I am on the deck)

Here I am standing in the "dark" corner looking out.

This is our garden. We have put a lot of time into this. When we moved in that whole section along the fence was bushes. We ripped everything out, then moved all the bark out and brought in top soil. Ryan made all of our trellisses and teepees by hand. We planted watermelon, cantaloupe, artichokes, onions, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, lots of tomatoes, broccoli, peas, cauliflower, snap peas (pea pods), carrots, beans, zuccini, cabbage, peppers, cucumbers, basil, celery, strawberries, and raspberries. The blueberries were already here.

This is the front of our house. It is kind of strange. It has brick on half of the front only. Who knows why they did that. Also, our front door is on the side. You can see it on the left behind the tree trunk. Our plan for next year is to put up a fence around the front yard.

Another shot of the front. This shows our side yard. We have four fruit trees on the side. Two pear, one apple and one plum.

On the right of the driveway we ripped out a huge ground cover plant and made more parking. Eventually, we will move our mail box and bring in rock.

This is a closer shot of our little deck and patio.
