In the backyard, besides nine raised beds for vegetables and strawberries we have a few woodland niches here and there in shady corners and under maturing evergreens.

Bloodroot Sanguinaria canadensis This is one of the few plants that I actually transplanted from the wild, from an area that I knew well and was densely populated with this brilliant, but fleeting spring flower. It's a member of the poppy family and only keeps its blooms a few days. The plant gets bushier and taller afterwards, however, and is a pretty plant in itself under a pine tree just behind the house. The juice of the plant is orange-red, giving it its common name. photo copyright April 1999 Randy E. Newcomer |
| Blackberries Originally planted for our own enjoyment, the Blackberries are pretty much enjoyed by the wildlife. photo copyright 2000 Randy E. Newcomer |
