Snapple - Shot a few photos (well, more than a few and DH had to drag out tripod because I don't hold still long enough). These are just general photos, no real specific plants highlighted because they're all rather pathetic looking after divisions, moving and replanting.
Beyond the back of the garden is a wooded wetlands (read: mosquitoes) but it's quiet. About 95% of the plants are brought in by me as this was a desolate, clay-filled dumping ground for the previous owners - discarded turkey roasting pans, old Christmas trees, other trash and lots of poison ivy (which I learned about the hard way the first year. Now I can spot it at 10 yards.)
