The Back Garden

Here is my back yard:


We recently pulled a large hedge out that ran along the sidewalk, and also got rid of an 8X8 shed that would have blocked that giant hosta from this angle. The plan is to have the short picket fence with some colorful plantings in front and some kind of pergola behind for a nice shady place to sit. I'd like to keep the hosta and a couple of the plants near it, and put in a couple of raised vegetable beds to the right in this picture. The weirdness I referred to in the last post is that there is an easement at the back end of our property for our neighbors to use as a driveway plus about half the space of the yard is black top. I'd really like to get rid of it but still haven"t come up with a good idea of how to handle it if I do. Something to think about I guess :)
