Yard update

The first shot is of the back...

  

But it doesn't do it justice. Look at these close ups...

These blue Lithodoras are huge!

And the rosemary and Helianthimum have totally taken over the corner.

  

The view of where we planted the trees... (It doesn't look like it, but those Cypress are 6 feet tall. TOG and I worked hard to drag them up the rockery!) After 3 years of fighting blackberries (the builder rototilled them under and every chunk of vine sprouted) the top is finally bare. We're working on leveling it out and deciding between planting drought resistant or trying to route water up there....

  

The front.... everything grew well and we now have a path leading back to the lair of the Brute Squad!

Sorry... had to sneak in a shot of the columbine!

I'm open to ideas on what to put up top in the back...

AG out!

I know you don't think it looks that much different, but I think it looks GREAT!

I like that color (species?) of columbine the very best. Your yard is looking very put together.

Tall trees! Yep that's what I'd want! Everything else looks great.
