WOW!
I'm gonna have to plan the whole month of Jan and Feb to check your website en total :>)
I envy you because I know your to young to rest.

Hey, I just came up the Northway behind half of your house! ;^)

That's a fabulous spot, and website. I'm going to have to give it some serious perusal time.

My husband and I have a run-off from the mountain behind us in our back yard. The seller was mad at the town for not giving her a tax abatement for the inconvenience. I'm thrilled at the thought of what to plant there to attract birds and butterflies and bees and critters.

My bird-feeding in NYC was disastrous. I had neighbors threatening to sue me over the hundreds - and I do mean hundreds - of pigeons that discovered the smorgasbird. Here, the feeder took ONE DAY to draw the goldfinches! I'm on the lookout for grosbeaks and titmice and pine siskins.

Well done!

Wow, a great job Matt in really a short amount of time. It's great you got to expand your property too. Please keep those pictures coming.

Very cool ... I need to do the same with my place. I took a falling apart horse farm on 20 acres and have totally changed the house, grounds, and barns.

I have tons of photo's, but haven't done anything with them.

A nice project you can be proud of and I bet you and your wife had fun doing it. I love landscape projects on my property also so I know of the prideand satisfaction you feel with all your great work for yourself and nature.Great website and I'll be checking out more of it. Thanks for sharing

Greetings! Thanks to all for all the kind feedback and encouragement!! From time to time, I will add new photos to my Yard&Garden pages. Most of my effort now will ge geared toward my Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge Big Year...

Matt,

You have done a wonderful job in your yard! I spent a very agreeable time going through your yard and garden site. You and your wife are to be congratulated; it's beautiful! (and I can't wait to see the photos and progress report for 2005 lol)

Very nice! I will have to look at more of your site as time allows (I'm on my lunch break!). I enjoyed looking at the 2004 garden pics. It's encouraging to learn that your baptisia finally bloomed after 3 years. This summer will be MY baptisia plant's third year, so I hope this is the one...

Love that 'Art's Pride' orange echineacea too!

Inspirational! That's great.

How did you get an aerial photo of your house and grounds? We have small planes over our house all the time, but no one has mailed me any pictures yet ;-)

Your site is beautiful! Good luck this summer in continuing expanding your garden.I just purchased 37 acres in Fultonville, we hope to be in by June or July. The house needs to be extended, it was small, but we just fell in love with the property. I can't wait to get there and start planting.

I don't know how to post 2 pictures from picturetrail.com in the same posting. Here is a pic of my natural pond on the property. It needs to be dressed up a bit once the spring comes, does anyone have any ideas?

Really fun to see evidence of vision, discipline and persistent work. Great job. In my opinion, you are addressing both landscape design and garden design. Please keep up the good work on your corner of Eden and its website. I look forward to seeing its ongoing development. Thanks for the enjoyable post.
