Gardening expertise
Keen but Clueless

Biggest gardening accomplishments
Adding a retaining wall to reduce erosion.

Biggest gardening frustrations
The back yard is in shade. I want to add a shallow reflecting pool to bring in more light, but it will collect leaves in the fall.

The gardening project I am currently working on
Currently, I am adding junipers to stabilize a slope above the retaining wall. Eventually, I will be adding built-in outdoor furniture.
