I am looking forward to the garden tours. Your before and after pictures are particularly inspiring. You have put a lot of hard work creating the new gardens. The reflect so much love and caring and they have personality - much more interesting than the magazine photos of some gazillionaire's garden that was created and maintained by someone else. What do you have planted in them? I am new, so I don't recognize everything. I like to know what everyone has planted in their gardens.

What is an Aga?

Here is a picture of the area next to my greenhouse in front of the big ugly propane tank. I planted this in August 2008. This area was covered with blackberry vines so bad, you couldn't even get to the tank. That is Summer Chocolate Mimosa, 2 Mexican Orange, California Lilac, NZ Flax, Black & Blue Salvia, Gayfeather, a pot of Bamboo, 3 Black Lace Elderberry's ( they lost their leaves). Uh oh, I think I overplanted!!! They just look so little and cute and lonely by themselves, I forget they grow up.
