I have 35 acres, primarily woodland. Rolling terrain criss-crossed with old logging trails, and a meandering creek. Natural beauty everywhere - trees (beech, oak, maple, poplar,...), mountain laurel, woodland natives (ferns, mayapples), and large white boulders. Back in 2001, turned 1 1/2 acres of the only low, swampy part into a pond. Minimal sunny areas - just the drainfield and small clearings around the house and pond. I've attempted to enhance some areas with gardening efforts - primary focus is near the house, a shady garden on the hillside between the house and the pond, along the part of the creek that can be seen from the driveway, and thousands of daffodils along one of the old logging trails (now dubbed the daffodil trail). Figure I'll run out of money before I run out of gardening room! Loads of fun, and learning a lot... terri
