I just got back in from taking a few more shots of the yard. Came up with three that are ok at least. Figured I'd go ahead and post them and whore myself out for some comments.
This is an overview of the yard as you just round the corner of the house. This is your first view of the back yard.
Semi-closeup shot of the berm in the center of the yard.
Another semi-closeup shot of a different section of the berm in the center of the yard.
Keep in mind that one year ago I was jack hammering out concrete and tilling under the entire yard. Everything you see has been done in the last year. The first plant didn't even go in until last August. Yes I know the yard still has a LONG way to go. *IF YOU CLICK ON THE PICS YOU WILL GET TO SEE THEM MUCH LARGER*
