In the beginning . . . . . . was the hedge. And the grapefruit tree, and assorted overgrown shrubbery. To the left, the apple tree in bud.

Top: The front yard

2nd: The front yard

3rd: The back yard, looking east. Scraggly, untended roses, a brick pathway to nowhere, and artfully placed slabs of concrete. The previous owner added cypress trees and piles of pottery shards for the "Little Pompeii" look.

4th: The back yard, looking west. Note the "chicken coop" on the right--a decaying shed attached to the garage.
The chicken coop demolished. Under the bricks, shingles, nails, rotten lumber, mummified rats, and crockery lies a planting bed full of potential.
Above and left: The awkward adolescent: Little Pompeii meets Victory Garden. The brick pathway being recycled.
