It took me SO long - lots of it my own procrastination, granted. But to be done (for the moment)? Amazingly satisfying.

I'm hoping that with good access I will be better about tackling weeding and mulching (and reweeding and remulching) while the scope of the need is smaller and thusly less aggravating. That's what I'm hoping all right.<br /><br />As to reworking problem plants and microclimates, that is what keeps things interesting to a certain extent - and why my favorite nursery owners children are probably going to very nice schools.

L...Your hard work and fretting certainly paid off! Love that bed and the paths. The triangle leading to the bench is darling. Years ago, when I first began to recreate my space, I truly believed that once I established the gardens/pathways that the maintenance would be minimal. And it proved true. Sort of. I have a much more interesting place, but it still requires weeding. And re-mulching. And re-doing the beds when something isn't working. I tell people that I feel like the second Mrs. Dewinter in "Rebecca" when she's explaining to Mr. Dewinter about her father. Her father paints a tree. No, not trees. One tree. He never quite gets it the way he wants, so the tree is an ongoing project. Always improving, always changing.Tinahttp://www.mygardenersays.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
