Cal Kt's Frontyard garden

Created on Thursday, 08 Nov 07

The soil here is clay however I have lived here many years and through the use of my compost and mulch the flower beds are fairly good. The yard was in full sun however over the years the trees are shading more and more of the yard requiring me to change some areas to shade plants.

Garden Type: Frontyard | Sun: Dappled Sun | Soil: Potting Mix
