Hi psychw2, glad you joined us. Come on in. I didn't mention that we ripped the roof off that house, added another 900 s.f. and spent eight years hand crafting the interior. The guy that bought it saw it and wrote a check, on the spot, for our asking price! So, we've now been doing the same thing for twenty two years in our Atlanta house and nineteen years in our cottage (the later is sloooow).

Cedar (Pam), you're the pro here. :)

I used to be a big perennial gardener, but see garden and outdoor space as more fluid entities now. I've learned with Maypop that if it's left to it's own devices it will return to the wild in no time. I now view myself as a temporary tenant and custodian, carving out small space for whimsy. Maybe that is by definition "getting old and running out of steam". lol Here's a bit of our Atlanta house design.
