There wasn't much planted there - I lost a few Cimicifugas that were strangled by the Petasites but the few Astrantias were still hanging in there and I was able to save them. It took me almost three days of digging up and removing all the roots of the Petasites before I could begin planting and I'm still seeing a few pop up after 3 years :( After looking at all that "blah" foliage for so many years I wanted to plant Hostas with colorful foliage and include Ferns, etc. to soften the look. This is where the path leads through the area and continues on to the new arbor and sitting deck - late fall, 2006.
