Paved back yard with raised beds. Unfortunately the wood forms are made with treated wood so who knows what poisons have leaked into the soil. There are feral cats in the woods which have been using the beds for litter trays and there were little dogs running around. So.... Master Gardeners here we come - with our little box of earth samples. Quite a bit of soil amendment required. I know some horse owners ...........
This is what we look out onto. A green space. Filled with oak, fir, hydrangeas, hellebore, roses and other stuff we can't even see. Lots of cutting and pruning and I think we'll have another garden on the other side. What a lovely view - and very private.
Covered back porch. Oh boy - we are going to have fun with this. It's basically another room and with some kind of patio heater could be stretched out for most of the year. I see lots of supper parties going on here. (The picnic table has to go - it's falling to pieces).
30 years ago someone planted this redwood tree. We think it is a coastal redwood which doesn't naturally grow this far inland or this low down. They need fog to grow and we do get it but not as much as by the ocean. However, this little fellow has managed a trunk circumference of 14ft and a height of probably 40 to 50 ft. Not bad for a baby.
The side path. Quite wide with lots of sun. Things can be done here - I have plans!
