Side Yard Update

Hi! 

I've been slowly working on the side yard this week.

Here's how it looked last year.

Here's how it looked 2 weeks ago.

Here it is last Friday.

And this morning.
Notice there's a little fence running from the playhouse to K's office. 
Here it is from the other side.

It used to be our table!  See it attached to the breezeway wall?

 Back to the side yard.
Here are the raspberries last week on the left hand side.

Here they are two days ago.

And now. 
The raspberries were spreading so I moved a bunch of them closer  to the fence.  Now they're only out about 2-3 feet from the fence instead of 5-6 feet with lots of empty spaces.  I hope we get some berries this year!

The well area last week. 

And today.
I got all the trellis up and transplanted the honeysuckle.  Beside the well is a cedar shingled piece of plywood that's going to make a cover for the well.  On top of that is part of a fence that will run in front of the well.

Here's looking from the front.  I'm in the middle of moving our woodstove over.  It's on the handcart behind a stray piece of trellis. 

Here's a closer look at the corner.  I dug up a bunch of tiny spruce trees to put in pots here until we decide where we want them. 

The spruces came from the "hill" beside the sail boat.  Since we need to flatten out this hill of fill, I've put plastic on part of it to kill the grass so it's easier to dig up. 

After I removed the fence  behind the electric pole last week,
I felt it needed a little something there to block the guide wire.  Here's what I did.
 I put up some trellis.  (It should actually be attached to the wall..)

Here it is from the other side.

In the front yard (on the pond side) the grass I planted a couple weeks ago has started to grow! 

It's very nice to see all this green!  As usual, I can't believe how much everything grows! 

Have a great day! :-)
