06 Late Winter - Earliest Garden Picture

Welcome to Mike and Phil on the Hill!

Here you will see photographs we've taken of our gardens, since we moved into our house on the hill in late winter, 2006.

This is the earliest photograph I have of the backyard. You can see we started shoring up the hillside with boards and rebar.

Before this photograph was taken, the backyard was nothing but a jungle of blackberry, strangle vine and Scotch broom. A neighbor told us that no one had done anything to the backyard since at least the early 1980's, when she moved into the neighborhood.
