plantingOaks's Front Yard garden

Garden Type: Frontyard | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Clay

This is along the North side of the house, facing the road. There’s maybe 50 feet between the front door and the street. Shade comes from the house itself, and the ancient pine tree to the east, but it’s a very high and sparse tree, so makes negligible impact.
