wrenhouse's Backyard garden

Garden Type: Backyard | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Loam I'm Organic!

A fall snapshot of the backyard perennial garden. We were away from it for a year as we rented our home out while overseas. It is somewhat overgrown and a major project next spring. Invasive perennials and weeds need clearing out and many plants need dividing and re-locating.
