The trucks are often intertwined with other varieties of trees, The Oak trees by the back steps are intertwined with Cedar trees. The Cedars were cut back at some time - so that the Oaks grow straighter.

But the Cedars and Junipers in the front are intertwined with each other. There are a number of younger trees out back that are flowering and spreading out.

But mostly there are seedlings from the various Oaks and other trees so that there are any number of trees in their infancy.

To make pathways I have to pull out some of the trees that are in the way.

I hope to eventually grow some herbs in a straw bale in the front yard.

This ground has hardly and soil, rather it is made up of rocks and fossils. Tons of fossils. So I have lots of plants in pots but no herbs yet.

The Redbuds are huge and spread across almost the entire front half of the house. They are taller then the roof.

The Oaks out back are actually taller then the roof and in fact some branches need to be cut back.

I keep making plans for a bale garden andd potted herbs and the plans fall apart. Oh well.
