Very short driveway, and that safety orange cone by the boulder? Does that remind anyone backing out of the garage to be careful? :) And Don, it was no less than what I expected to find in any garden you touched, or really any project you set yourself to accomplish. Great detail in the use of white to define the hardscape. Love the shape of that arbor, breaking away from always straight lines one comes to expect with wood structures. Honestly, do you do all this work, including maintenance, yourself? Do you have hired help? How large is your garden anyway, to have all these well laid out non-cramped beds. Did you landscape it, because it is very professional looking. And, I've lost my way to THE LISTS....where are they now? I know some were moved to Pieterje's site, or so I think, and I cannot find it. Looking for the THEME GARDENS specifically. Need to submit a few more. I now have the HOSTA FINDER to browse through, need to see your lists. Sorry if it is off topic a bit, but I was going to email you with this question, and here you post, so......excuse please? (but where is it)

You're right it does look like 'Golden Meadows' but it's not that one. I already have that one and with lack of space I don't buy the same one more than once. If I had more room that would definitely be one I would buy mulitples of. Jen

Thanks for posting those MM. It sure looks lovely and so well cared for. I'm sure all had a lovely day. Cheers, Dee.

That view from the third floor would make me happy every time I looked out! Look at how many plants you've brought in. I also see lots of nice flowers in pots and what looks like a Rodgersia that looks pretty big. I can imagine that you're creating more interest in gardening when your neighbors see what you've accomplished. Your hostas look good and healthy. I also plant close, and this spring I moved some only because they were getting completely covered up by bigger hostas, and one that was blocking a sprinkler when it grew taller than I anticipated. The good news is they didn't skip a beat. Now I feel better about crowding them because they can be moved later. There's always a way to justify squeezing in some more hostas. ;-) It looks like you have lots of room for expansion if you wanted to. Do you need that grass where you have the rectangular bed in the middle? If not, I would make a walking/working path with some stepping stones and spread the gardens into where the grassy area is now. It looks like you have a nice walkway area already with some more grass to the left. ....Just a thought. I'm figuring out how to rework a portion of my garden, so that's where my head is at right now.
