This picture shows the right front side of the house. The fence encloses what is currently the vegetable garden, although we decided to let it lay fallow this year and just work on amendments and maybe some hardscaping. Instead, we are going to try a share with the local CSA this year.
Here is the same point of view this afternoon. The large shrub in the front of the house, between the windows is a Purple-leafed Plum. Everything else is a bit hard to see, due to the distance, but thats okay.
This picture must have been taken a few moths after we moved in, 5 years ago. The foundation plantings consisted of dwarf Burford hollies and some Rhododendrons.
Slightly different angle, but you can see, there have been lot of additions made to the foundation plantings, including a weeping cherry tree, a weeping atlas cedar and a Japanese maple.
This is the house from the open area (well, actually it's the drainfield). Not much there, except for the satellite dish and some very large boxwoods on the side of the house (north-east orientation).
Much greener! In front of the boxwoods, that you can't really see in this picture, since everything is growing in front of them, has grown up a nice shade bed. Forward and to the left is the main (oldest) sunny border. That border is very exciting this year, it is really starting to coe together and looking really good.
So that's the big picture, I'll talk about the detailed stuff soon.
