Looks like all that work was worth it!

| Of course this is just natural...the young forest across the alley where Belle likes to hunt... |
 |
| Here, you can see some of the daffodils, the new young crabapple tree, one of the baby hollies, and of course, the shed! |
 |
| The holly is blooming...profusely! |
 |
| The ancient lilac did better this year than ever before... |

Our original lilacs, forsythia, dogwood and crabapple are lovely this year...
And below, some of our surprise daffs...I thought I was getting a bag of all one kind, at Costco...instead, we have more kinds than I knew existed! They bloom at slightly different times, so watching what's next has been fun.
Unfortunately, looks like neither of the red twig dogwood made it, and one of the viburnums has died, but the butterfly bush and the other viburnum are doing well...I want to plant a cedar, to block the neighbor's trash view, but it's all coming along nicely, especially for a
very shady lot.
