here are some updates the hill of dirt looks like this now.i planted a yellow butterfly magnolia tree 1st and then bought plant after plant.seeing how my guy is korean i decided to buy plants that i thought would be in a asian garden.i will get some kind of dwarf pine (i think) for the spot in the corn that is open.i have a pump in the bowl for water movement and the birds love it,and the butterfly's love the butterfly bush-i hope it survives the winter :)one thing that sucked was all the ants that took over this hill,they were bitting me all over.there are also astilbe and ferns.i put down a weed barrier and 24 bags of mulch and 1 hour1/2 later i was ready for planting.
