but, you can see the junked out porch and steps there, and kinda see the area my dear, sweet BF dug out.
On each side of the steps are some large yuccas--I never really intended to go that deep but I did intend for the yuccas and the milkweed not to grow back in this spot so I wanted to get their extensive roots, and well, then, once you're already down there, what the heck Shrug!
