garden circa 2005


The garden when we purchased the house in 2005 was one of the main features that attracted us to the place. It's an extensive yard right smack downtown with established trees, peonies, and lawn... all beautifully maintained. And then we naturally changed it.

The Virginia Creeper was one of the first plants to go since it doesn't play well with others. I'm still digging up roots and sprouts 2 years later.

One thing of note is the glass in the shed window is from the late 1800's and came from Michael O's parent's farm. The sunken irregularities of old glass are beautiful. Tal talks about putting shutters on it given the horror of breaking a pane.
