Mid-Atlantic Gardening: A PEEK AT MY JULY GARDENS, 1 by claypa

Thanks, both. No, that's next door, both sides have been vacant for quite a while now. That reminds me, I should plant some stuff near the other house's foundation, the bank won't care. These houses are "twins", and my yard is only .08 acres, about 40'x100' or so.
This is the "wild frontier", with possums, skunks, rabbits, and lots of groundhogs (four babies this year, but two died; one by a hawk, one roadkill). Soon I will cover the grass here with newspaper and cardboard and one ton of mushroom compost, and plant lots of divisions of plants from the rest of the yard among these trees and shrubs.
Just out of the picture to the right is a tallish 'Dragon Lady' holly, planted where a thirty foot tall Norway maple used to be. Can you tell I like it crowded with plants? : )
