All the before pics Took these while blowing and some burning leaves in the yard today. Don't know if I'll ever get done! We have about 50 trees on the 2 acres. Seven of the Elm trees are dead and will be taken out. I don't have to buy Moss for my terrariums as we have a lot in the yard under some trees. The veggy garden will go in the back where there is the most sun.

Looks like a lovely homestead! On the "south side" photo... is that a lake in the background or are you on a hill?
Okietriker a big welcome from Wisconsin. I would love to say a big warm welcome but our temp's have been in the -16 to -20 degrees lately. But I am glad you found this wonderful site with so many friendly and helpful folks. Your garden under glass looks like one would like to live in there. I to can't wait for spring. I have my garden catalogs to keep me looking forward to warmer weather. Have a super day.
That's a little bit of a hill. The Grand Lake of the Cherokees is only about 3 miles from us, which is the largest man made lake in Ok. with 1,300 miles of shoreline. Here's a view from this past Fall. View from Bridge ( photo / image / picture from okietriker's Garden )
I've got to say, this is the most awesome forum I've been on! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Another site I go to at times is Mother Earth News http://www.motherearthnews.com/ that has a lot of helpful tips on everything. They have a forum but I haven't been on it yet. I remember my Dad getting their magazines back when I was just a young kid so they've been around for a long long time.
