Garden - the first
season
There is much landscaping to do in the first season . One of the greatest
challenges is to decide which areas are to get attention first and
which will need to wait until next season . We focused on getting
plants for prime locations and landscaping structures completed first. Some
garden areas will need to wait until next year.
Much has happened in our cul-de-sac since we've moved in nine months ago.
New construction is everywhere. soon we'll have next door neighbors!

A view of the shrub roses we selected for the front garden. They are
called Impact.
They alternate with Gold Mound spirea in the flower bed. The change
in color and texture work well together.

A view of the back with landscaping. The contractor sodded the front
yard and we sodded the back with some help from our friends.
A panoramic view of the backyard from the deck. The railing is really
straight across.
The distortion occurs when several pictures are put together. Note
the relative locations of the trellis swing (left) and shed (right).
The lake is visible in this shot as well. Our lot extends up to the
park area (the dark green line in the picture above).
A view of the trellis swing. We used the swing from our old home and
built a new trellis.
It is a combination of pressure treated wood and cedar. Once we stain it,
it will have a more uniform color.
The carpentry instructor at school helped me plan and build the lattice.
This is one garden area that will need to wait for plants next year.
