Aaron, things DO look better now despite the winter carnage.
There are some real standout plants.
And the others make me want to cry.
Great looking yard; you've done a great design job.
I don't think we've ever seen distance pics before that show everything so well.
Thanks for that.
Yup...what a horrible long winter.
Bet half of North America is saying that.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Aaron, it looks like you've been seeing our landscapes while been planning your garden:

Assuming this is your Idaho garden, isn't it? How low have you got last winter? No snow cover at all?
Snow cover is from late Nov. - late Feb.
The low was -13.6F/-25.3C wich is about normal, but came early this year before plants were dormant. It did lots of damage. 😐

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Thanks barb,
I think I should get on the roof and take a couple of pics so we can see year to year progress. 😆 When I bought the place I did not even have a road going out there, I built the road over 600ft just to get to my property all out of recycled material a shovel and 5 gal buckets. 😆

You built the 600 foot road with a shovel and 5 gallon buckets? 😯 😯
That's dedication! Good for you!
And a real love for the property.
I remember when I first saw these 15 acres with a For Sale sign.
I dailed the realtor's number, handed H the phone and (suggested) "make an offer".
Pushy! Who me? 😆 😆
Yes, Aaron, a 360 series of shots from the roof would be wonderful.
In summer all your stuff will have sprung back green.
