I've Got It!

Last night we had a thunderstorm and I decided to go sit on the deck after the rain stopped. As I looked out at this view, it came to me all of a sudden what I wanted to do with it. This has come after much study on permaculture, reading about septic system functioning, measurement, and a walk through a meadow that day. 
  • Meadow. During my walk in the meadow, I was reminded how much I love walking through plants that are taller than me. I'll divide this view with a mini meadow of tall plants (Rudbeckia yellow daisies, common milkweed)
  • Arbor with Grape Vine. On the other side of the meadow, I will make a seating area with an arbor and grape vine. This divides the yard into spaces and gives visitors a destination and motivation to explore. A small yard feels larger when you can't see all of it at once.
  • Fruit Trees. I'll put one by the deck just to the left of this photo, and one next to the lilac shrub, straight ahead.  The bank along the fence can be for vegetable or berry shrubs. It gets quite a bit of sun.

I'd better get sheet mulching!
