Spring cleaning

While I toil away on solid, soggy ground we hired Seattle Tree Preservation to clean up our apple and pear trees, and spruce up several large rhodies. One rhodie had to be removed due to a disease that I can't remember the name. This has opened up a large area of ground that I'm itching to start planting up. Unfortunately, anything in the rhododendron family is now off limits so I'll begin researching what I can safely plant there _ besides more grass where my little one can eventually play.
