My initial entry photo was taken the third week of July 2008. These pics were taken some 7 weeks earlier, on the 28th of May and shortly after the brick walkway was completed and many of the plants were in place. Of course I have purchased more than a few new plants since then. These views also show the raised bed I built against the workshop, using interlocking blocks. It runs the entire width of the building, arching out from each end to about 12 feet across for most of the span. A number of the perennials you see I have had for many years....and they've been successfully moved several times. The Ligularia 'Desdemona' (just below and right of the Oak in the bottom photo ) is as best I can remember, some 20 years old....one of my favorites. It really stands out in the photo on my first posting. More to come. Rick
