Wee, as I told RCN, coming from you with one of the nicest gardens I've seen the praise means a lot to me!

Debbie, I look at nature and see things scattered about not crammed together and that's how I try to plant. I know it will mature into something a little tighter in a few years but for now I'm fine with it. (Except for the wild ginger and wild hydrangeas I have sitting in water waiting to be put in the ground up there somewhere...) I still have areas around the outside fringes that are prime for adding to so I can still expand. But for the moment it's a little break from the tour and the heat before I start on a bridge across the gully down below and an Asian style garden adjacent to the woodland area with a JM already planted to celebrate our 20th anniversary back in April.

The bridge will be across the gully where you see the the rocks between the chips on either end of the path. Still haven't decided if I'm gonna do a waterfall or just create a dry streambed there. It gets a lot of water thru there in heavy rains so I'm leaning towards the dry.
