I'm participating in Heather's meme at
Xericstyle featuring wide shots of the garden on the first day of each month. This month, I've got pictures of the backyard border, the side yard, and the front yard. All the photos were taken in the early morning, which means that some were shot into the sun, while others show areas still in shade.
The back border, which I've shown in my previous wide shot posts, is first up. I've pulled some plants, moved others, and introduced some new selections since last month but there are still some empty spots to fill, as well as other moves to make.

Next up is the side yard, which I've been working on since we finished tearing out the lawn in that area in early September. We still have to lay some more stone to create a pathway across the area.

This month I've also included a photo of the front beds. I'm afraid there's not much to see there as I recently cut back most of what is in those beds but here you are.
