Jude, I hope you are taking lots of before and during photos of your gardens as they change. I think it is so fun to watch. Sounds like you are doing the right thing and really studing before making any changes. I am afraid I am more Murmer's type of gardener. I go to the nursery, come home with a flat of new plants and then wander around the garden with one in my hand until I find a bare spot for it. Sometimes I think it might be worth moving just so I could dig them all up and rearrange them all at once in a new spot. I recently helped Moby, a local DG'er, do just that, but since it was a last minute move and late in the season, she didn't really have much time to plan anything, so those of us who were helping just planted things in the large prepared bed where we each thought they would look good. It may be interesting seeing the results next year. It will probably look better planned than mine does.
