Okay...shot from the same general area but across the drive from extreme southwest corner looking east along the property line. Daylily bed under the alder, then a Fuji apple and 2 Ranier cherries. Probably will also have a Frost peach soon. This slope for my is very problematic because of the angle and the number and health of the weeds. There is a french drain at the bottom of this slope and I've started a cardboard garden (grows fairly well here). The uphill neighbor has about 40 Rose of Sharon planted (you can see the little pieces of flagging tape pinned to them). To the right of the blue tarp, at the base of the hill, there are 4 or 5 tree peonies which are struggling but seem to be doing okay. Started with 10 last year and didn't do any soil prep or anything, just stuck them in the ground. Fortunately they were not expensive ~ got them from Directgardening.com, so if they don't make it it's okay.
