The backyard


This view is looking from the NW corner towards the SE corner. You can see a fig leaf, part of the pear-apple tree, a blueberry twig, many herbs and a few varieties of drought-tolerant grasses. Also visible are the gravel paths, which were dug out with the help of Rachael's student Caitlyn. This is the same type of 1/4"- unsorted gravel used in traditional Japanese gardens. It compacts nicely and doesn't migrate into the house, all the while allowing water to permeate.
