Hi folks. Sorry I have been very busy of late without much time to visit my favorite tree/shrub forum on line.

I thought that perhaps people might be interested in a collection of pics of my new garden in its first year that I posted on (that other forum/site that had a mass exodus of woody plant people from a few years ago....). I do still find the perennials forum there pretty active and useful, and I still e-know (and in-person know) a lot of the posters. I don't have the time or energy to upload all the photos on this web site too, but maybe I can just post the links here and people can look if they are interested.

Maybe one teaser picture here -- a view of the back garden, with Cedrus deodora 'Karl Fuchs' at the center. In Michigan? Yeah right, how long has it been there, and we'll see if it is there after a few more years and a real zone 5 winter. So far it has been through 2 winters but the low has been only -5F. It IS very protected here from the N and west. And it still looks pretty great after a few fairly cold weeks here. We'll see.....
