As Autumn arrives we are enjoying the end of the first full cycle of plant growth in and around The “L” Shaped House. In a effort to enhance this beautiful fall season Deb engaged the services of our friend Elizabeth Fischer who has a new business (Garden Junkie Designs) specializing in outdoor seasonal decorations.
The two photos below show Elizabeth and her husband Andrew as they work to transform our front porch with a celebration of fall colors. Their work is really unique and beautiful.
The front of The “L” Shaped House with our tall grass landscaping is shown below.
The last two photos show the back yard of the house. The first shows the “no-mow” turf and landscape gardens from a spot under our neighbor’s maple tree in the front yard.
The last photo shows the view of the back yard from a spot just beyond the garage. The “no-mow” turf has come a long way this first growing season. These photos were taken shortly after mowing it for the very first time (huh…?). Matt Wolfe recommended mowing the back yard late this fall to promote “fuller” growth next spring and to discourage rodent (moles and voles) burrowing this winter.
We’re absolutely loving the “woodsy” feel of the backyard landscaping…
