Today ’s photos are from Lea Morrissey in Massachusetts . She says,“When we moved into our house in Marblehead 20 old age ago , the front yard was beautifully landscaped but the backyard was pretty bare .

“ Since our kids were little , that was fine and a sandbox , a wendy house , and a small vegetable garden were the only ‘ landscaping ’ I had time for . As the kids grew up and no longer used the backyard for soccer or softball , I began claiming more and more lawn blank for my gardens .

“ A few years ago , as I began thinking the garden were nearing culmination , we lost a huge maple and our very suspicious back grounds turned into a very gay back yard . While I sleep with shady garden , it has been fun adding a whole young range of sun - love industrial plant , and the garden cover to acquire . ”
