I have some pics posted that I'd like to share with you guys.  The pics are
of the side of my house.  You can see that I have 2 4x4 square foot vegetable
garden blocks (soon to be fenced in) along with one more trellis.  Along the
right side of the fence, I have planted 2 blueberry bushes that you might be
able to see.  Also, directly behind the large tree stump(soon to be removed)
near the garden are 2 rasperry bushes.  They are pruned down to the ground
right now.  I also have a blackberry plant in the corner of the fence by the
pine needles.  

I want to plant lots of flowers or something to really spruce the side of the
yard up. I was thinking of putting like 25 strawberry plants on the hill under
the pine trees since I'd like to grow some.  It gets pretty sunny there.  
Would
strawberries be ok in pine needles?  Flowers better?  What suggestions do you
all have?  I like daisies, I think.  White flower with yellow center?  Not
sure
if low growing strawberries behind taller flowers would be dumb.  I would like
to attract butterflies, I suppose.  I was thinking of putting some nasturtium
plants along the wood pile(my compost pile) to grow along the logs, possibly.
 

Basically, I have the whole underside of the pine trees, the area by the logs,
and the corner where the grass becomes dirt.  Any suggestions welcome as to
what would look nice.
