RC love seeing your "project" and can certainly relate. We are still mostly in the clearing out the underbrush and deadfalls. Every year Mother Nature seems to give us the "one step forward, two steps back" scenario. We we first got here we both cleared out maybe an acre or so, so that the DH's could have their large shops, and the fallout benefit of that was perimeter areas available for planting. It is too wet here today to go out for pictures, and both of us have to work, but will share more, maybe this weekend. I pity you the battle with the ivy. It is not so pervasive here, but my previous owner actually planted it and I am still fighting a few places. (She also used scads of landscape cloth around the yard, which I am still also fighting.) Well, guess I can get one pic of the cedar in my front yard that is my current "fight the ivy" project: The other stuff is periwinkle, which isn't quite so bad, but hopefully there will soon be hostas there.
