Albertarosey, I'd think about the columnar arborvitaes to finish blocking the view of the old house. I really like mine. I got Emerald and they're only supposed to get 15' x 2' - 3' at the most. We have been loosely tying them together inside as they grow so the snow and ice don't splay them apart.

Here are three of them. The fourth, to the right has a security light behind it. That's why I wanted to plant them. It blinds us as we pull up in our driveway and of course, it's the neighbor's.


This is the east half of the garden. When it's warmer, DH will put the pitcher pump back out so I can wash spinich and other veggies in the old washtub. The table was his sister's pine privacy fence. He's a good builder! I have a pea fence to the right and cucumber fence to the left. We burn wastebaskets in the middle. I have two asparagus beds close to the compost pile by the alley. Not a lot of room to garden in, but it helps. Rhubarb is in front of the arborvitaes, but it's not up yet and needs transplanting before it gets too comfy. It was the only place I had to put it since it was a trade.
