Wonderful photos & ideas on this thread!!

Susan, I don't think "too many daylilies" makes a garden un-cottagey, LOL. Your beds are lovely! About your idea of partly enclosing your front yard with a fence... I like it! I think it will anchor your arbors and make them seem more connected to the architechture of the house. However, I would bring the fence a little forward of your arbors so you don't make the inner area of the yard feel too confined. I think if you ran your low fence just 2 or 3 feet in from the walkway, you'd have room to do a bit of planting to soften the outside...

Hmmm, let's see if I can do the trick with drawing lines on your photo.... Hmm, resolution is pretty low, but this may still work...
