The Yard

This is what i am working with. Many thanks to my wife for merging all of the pictures together so that I have a comprehensive view of what the backyard looks like before all of the changes really start. its pretty boring and barren. The most important things for me about the backyard:

• Keep a lot of the treeline on the right hand side, but clear out a lot of the honeysuckle that grows around it.
• Create a barrier along the back fencerow with some type of evergreen
• Make raised beds for the garden along the neighbor's fencerow
• Bring more color, interest and wildlife into the yard

Somehow, I've got to get all of this started by the weekend. I've got plants on top of plants on top of plants now, and nowhere to really put them. My last shipment of items came today from my original order in February. I also got the added surprise of roses to plant in the yard from family. I'm not sure what kind they are yet, but I'm so excited to get them out in the yard and hopefully see them bloom this summer.
