This pic was taken a month after the previous pic, and this time notice that all the Ficus trees from my back neighbor are finally gone. Since I had planted lots of shade plants along that back wall, I had to hurry and build me that arbor along the back wall to protect my shade plants.

I have no grass in the front or back yards any more. The back has two berms with a stone walkway all around them. There is also a pond in the very front of the pic.

I have totally enjoyed creating this new space for myself. It has been fun, although challenging trying to put the right plant in the right place. I have moved several of my original plants around many times trying to find it's perfect spot. Both gardens are pretty small, they keep me very busy.

Cici, I have enjoyed watching this thread and all the wonderful work you have done to your new gardens. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
