And, YES! That is my Rose Souvelons Brug blooming it's head off today--right next to the SEM. .

OK! On to the idea of maybe erecting a compost bin at the back of my back yard. NOT saying i will do this--but lets explore this option---OK?

Here is a picture I took out of my bedroom bedroom window--showing an overview of my WHOLE (HA!) back yard. YES! That is where my property ends.....Not all that much to garden in.....

That line of evergreens at the back are, kind of, a privacy screen. Of course--by now--they are too high and too straggly. Would have wanted these to be no more than 8' tall...Oh, well.....
My new neighbor behind me had this 12'x20' Garage delivered. It sits right behind my evergreens. To keep things out of HIS sight--he keeps all his big trash cans there--and, in the Summer, the deflated swimming pool for his grandkids. Also--all his firewood stacked right up to my bed. UGH!
These things may be out of sight for HIM--but I get to see them every day.

The concrete storm drain, just behind my shed, is County Property. That is where I think the rats came last Winter to dine on my bird seed I sprinkled on my patio floor for the Doves--and other ground-feeders....
Anyway--if you look--I have all these black trash bags under the evergreens. They are all filled with shredded leaves from last Fall. In a year or so--I dig all these in my beds....NOT easy! All of my beds in the back are filled with Maple roots. BUT--It is a nice amendment--even if it is only inches deep.
