Doss, KaperC,

The magnolia is planned for this spot. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=5537445

I am continuing with the work of my front yard British Pocket Garden landscape design and implementation. I have managed to plant my fence and the Star Jasmine straps to begin growing the 4-ft architectural barrier fence. I've also planted numerous hostas back under the Fruitless Mulberry trees you see at the top of the maggie corner. The maggie is planned for that front corner of the lot. I wanted a dwarf maggie for the year-round interest it will provide and to balance the crepe myrtle at the opposite corner, a formal layout, if you will.

I'm actually pretty amazed at having gotten this far in such a short time (short is longer today than it was b4 cancer, bTW, LOL). The lot sat barren of anything but weeds for 5 years and my neighbors don't deserve to suffer my neglect any longer. So I've hired a 17YO muscleman to help out, which is helping gr8ly. It's exhausting for me, but at least it's doable this way.

Here's another pic of that poodle, all 70 pounds of him. My main man! I love Sir Bozo a bunch. And his princess Olivia loves him as well.

Warmly,
Linda
