This is along the back of the garage. The garage is built into a hill and the steps lead to a large storage area. I have my rhubarb, coneflowers, hot chili peppers and some other flowers along here. Posted by Picasa

Here are my concord grape vines along the fence - looking into the neighbor's yard. I have red swanson grapes on the other fence. Posted by Picasa

This is along the back of the house - just past the earth boxes. I have day lillies, cucumbers, bell peppers, zuchinni and some new flowers there (I can't remember the name of them). Once the plants are all up, I am going to cover the black plastic with mulch - it is not a solid plastic, it does allow the rain to go through it. Posted by Picasa

Here are my 3 earth boxes - they are a great way to container garden - they have a large water reservoir and do not dry out easily. I have cauliflower in two and bell peppers in the 3rd. You can see the lilac bushes in the background. Posted by Picasa

The is the side of our house - it was pretty overgrown with Hostas. I just dug up the hostas and split them and gave most of them away. I replanted the ones I kept and some of them are still a little wilted, but they will recover and become overgrown again! Posted by Picasa

This is the front of the house which I have not changed in the 8 years we have lived here. I don't like all of the bushes and I am going to remove them at some point. I think maybe a rose garden would be nice out front. Posted by Picasa

This is the other side of the house. The tomatoes are in the front, then strawberries and the raspberries. You can also see the grapes along the fence in the back. Posted by Picasa
