This is one of the "side" garden beds, which is gradually filling up but not as quickly as I would like. Oriental lily finally bloomed this year, but a volunteer bush came up in front of it, so shovel pruning may be the required next step to get rid of it. I'm going to put some more lilies here as they do seem hardier than some of the failed perrenials I've tried. This is definately a work in progress, but this area is doing much better than the one way in the back corner, see next photo, which has been a labor intensive crabgrass pulling nightmare.
