The house I grew up in in Potomac had sort of a low crease run through the backyard. And the neighbor's house (one down our side of the street, on the corner) had a steep slope coming off our back and side yards. A good thunderstorm would raise a silty creek that gathered itself on several surrounding lots, then traversed our backyard before running thru the neighbor's yard to the storm drain. Now our street had a pretty good slope on it, but in a GOOD thunderstorm the runoff streams on either curb would overcome the crown and touch in the middle. The backyard is shady and grass never properly "took" there. My folks have let it go "native" with Spring Beauties, Solomon's seal and other woodland plants.

When I was growing up my parents had a house built in a subdivision that was an old orchard. We had to build around walnut trees and pear trees. Then my father planted peach trees and grafted variations onto the peach trees. We had fruit and nuts coming out of our ahhh ears. We would get yellow jackets by the bus load eating the fruit. All fallen fruit had to be kicked a few times to get all the yellow jackets out before it could be picked up. It was actually a pretty big event. Fruit trees are a ton of work. IMHO What kind of nuts??
