We're in the midst of deciding on our top three houses. In the listings, they give us the front exposure direction and for me, having a large backyard garden is essential. I plan on making the garden pretty large, considering the lot sizes in Edmonton are pretty big (50 x 100 at the start)...

I live in a flat in San Francisco, which is a house that was basically converted into 2 separate apartments. When I moved in (about a month ago) my roommates mentioned in passing that they and the people living in the other flat never used the backyard and it was very unkempt. I finally got...

We have a nice sized hill in our backyard. The people behind us and the people to one side have their water runoff coming onto our property. Yes, we should have noticed before we bought but ..... When we did notice it, it didn't seem to be a problem. It comes down the hill on the right side...

Monkeys!!! I'd would go out every morning and give each of them a banana too.

I had posted about making a fort out of an old tree branch that had fallen during a cold front. Well...we just had to go buy a new washer & I took the box & made another fort & set it beside the tree branch fort. Dh said that he will wait awhile before cutting up the branch(brush pick up is in 5...

Does anyone know how to keep ants out of the compost bin? We just set one up, and I've noticed a few in there. I want to keep them under control before they set up house, and overrun the backyard!

I was typing away here, I face out into our backyard, and I saw that our cat Hettie was frozen to stone looking at something. I went outside and saw what I thought was a water dragon head.  I walked down there to get the cat and I saw it was instead a really REALLY big snake coiled up, ready to...

We had a snake in the backyard this morning.  I noticed it when DH went to work.  I phoned him and he said: "yeah, it's been there for 2 days. I forgot to put it in the rubbish bin."  Pfffffft.  I might have to fire that man. ;)   Anyhow, It looks like a small green tree snake and I think my bad...

I've just been out back in the greenhouse potting up some seeds.  I thought you might enjoy some photos so here they are. This first one is the gateway to my vegie patch.  When I first painted the gate, my DH nearly flipped LOL.  After 7 years, he now loves the gate. ;)
