Hosta hillside

 Note: I am having difficulty creating a new post, as Google tells me I am out of storage space.  This problem might take a while to solve, plus I will be out of state for a few days.  So, please accept my apology for the trouble.

This area of hostas was established about 25 years ago.  It is on a hill sloping both to the back of the lot (to the west) and to the right (or north).  The wall of railroad ties was just replaced this May.  The cobblestones at its base are sandstone.  I collected several thousand of them in 2009 at a factory site on the south side of Milwaukee, which was built in the 1880s.

     The first photo was mistakenly placed in the last post.  The last photo shows the area from the reverse view.

On to the back

     These photos are from the far SW corner of the property, and following posts will move to the north.  At this point the lot is sloping uphill both to the west (towards the back) and to the north.  The back of the property is 150 wide, and the hill sloping north rises about 15 feet over that length.

     Note: the second photo is not supposed to be there, and I cannot find how to remove it for now.

     The first photo shows the entrance to the gardens in the back, and the second and third show the area where there are two small sunken gardens.  The fourth photo shows that area from the back of the lot looking in the opposite direction east southeast towards the house.  As it was taken in 2016, the lawn has been reduced considerably in 2019.

     The last photo shows where the path splits, with one part leading north.  Several rocks covered with moss are at that junction.
