This blog entry is a pictorial update of the yard at the house including the food production area plantings. Next weekend I'm hoping to post a similar set of dog-related photos after completing a few more dog-related projects.
The food production area is taking shape. There are more projects in the making but much has been accomplished.

A row of 13 blueberry bushes is planted along the back fence. |
 |
9 fruit trees planted in home orchard style clusters |
 |
Beds constructed for the earthboxes and fig tree |
I bought 5 trees at Louisiana Nursery recently in the clearance area (90% off). I came home with $200 worth of nursery stock for $20. A few of the trees have been staked to encourage straighter growth but all seem happy in their new locations.
At a different Louisiana nursery location I purchased a selection of azaleas and camillas from the clearance area. These have been planted outside the food production area in the main part of the backyard.

The strawberries and blackberries are growing well. Blackberry trellises now installed. |

The front beds are mostly planted. The red knock-out roses are doing well. |

The yellow carpet roses are also doing well. |
