    Very nice, Bip! I want to see it with more blooms too. I can imagine the work you've had cleaning that up.

    Gosh you'd hardly believe it was the same piece of ground. You've certainly done a grand job of that bed Jen. It's going to look even better when everything bursts into bloom. Well done!! :-D

    What a nice spot you've created. Nice combo of plants! I know it will be a thrill when it's all planted up and blooming! You'll smile every time you walk out your door!

    You have certainly packed it with lovely plants. Very busy, and well rewarded.
