Backyard - 2002

Summer &
Fall
|
|
I didn't make many changes during the summer of 2002. I mainly
just kept up what was there.
I did find it necessary to thin out some asters, as they were
crowding out some other plants, such as Tall Coreopsis and others.
I also started to dig a pond, although on a much smaller scale
than my original attempt a couple of years ago! I didn't get very far though
- just a depression in the ground. I'll finish it off next year.

Here's a picture of the left-hand section of the field area in June, before
much has flowered.

Wow! What a "jungle"!
This part of the yard looks much like a natural, native
field. |

Here is a panoramic view of the whole backyard, in September
2002.
This is the view from our living room window!

I plan ahead and intentionally leave the grass long before
winter. This gives more under-snow winter habitat for the resident voles,
mice, and shrews that inhabit the yard. And as well it provides more food
for them over the winter. However, I do cut the front lawn, since that is
what the neighbourhood looks at. |

An early fall light snowfall, November 2,
2002.
Very pretty with the fall colours!
Winter's around the corner.
