Yes Sharon - only problem is now I can't let it go to seed!
Detail of above customer's garden, when I started today.
Have already spent 15 hours on it (this year) - pulling most of it to bits and replanting - only a small section left to do.
Easy to see why perennial gardening is good for only two kind of people:
(1) those who can pay for it (high knowledge and labor intensive work), and
(2) those who have the interest and physical form to do it themselves.
Everybody else should stick to to grass, shrubs and/or annuals.
Amazing how many people think you just plant perennials and they look after themselves for the next fifty years!
Like you, though, I really enjoy doing the work.
