Keeping the woods at bay
June 11, 2006: I’ll spend more time in the woods later but on June 11, 2006 I cut back some high growth at the back of the property line so the ferns would have more room.

Opening up the ferns in the wood. Looking back toward the house.
My aim in the woods is cover the floor with any clippings from the yard. I have a path winding from the yard into the woods to the back fence. I would like at some point to be able to see through the woods to the field beyond. It is very wet back here so any chippings or brush spread out will rot and create a thick mulch.
In August I took some of those purple flowering plants that grow in wet area along Route 7 and planted some back here, actually I have mixed feeling about this – we’ll see... and so will you if you check in next year.
