OOH will have to check it out. I'm looking forward to getting dirty in the yard in the next few weeks. Already separated (and started a new bed) day lilies.

I think you'll love it ~ a work of art imho ~ a beautfiul mix of Zen and practicality. I'd love to see pictures of your garden. I have fabulous Asiatic Lilies but they won't be in bloom until summer.

Once I start planting I'll be sure to post pics.
This is the backyard as of now, having just moved in:
You can see the day lilies I just transplanted (left of the chair)





We have to work on the grass, which is tricky with the dogs, so we'll incorporate more stepping stones into the landscape.

The daylilies are not in bloom yet. I actually DON'T KNOW what color they will be since we just moved in last month, so it will be a nice surprise. I'm hoping for maybe tiger lilies. love
I stuck some Stargazer bulbs in between. I still haven't done my spring "flower shopping" GAAAAAWD I'm sounding gayer and gayer with every words. doh!

Which bushes? eek lol

On the pic where the chair is what goes across (above the lilies) are vines on the fence. Not blooming yet, but some of the color is different (leaves not full yet). There's Mt Laurel/Rhododendrons/Hollies and a few things I don't know the names of. lol

I especially thought of you as I was reading it. You should come with me to the Gardening Zen workshop in the Fall in Santa Fe!
