But then, that’s the nature of gardening, isn’t it? I just want it all to be beautiful and then keep getting even better. HA!

It is fascinating to look at how different years present different problems and you've responded to them consistently successfully. I don't really see "better" or "worse" when I look at these areas of yours. They all look thoughtfully arranged and gorgeous from here!

Looking forward to the back yard.Sharon Tomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502692144363548970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-55577799610590835992015-10-10T01:23:32.819-05:002015-10-10T01:23:32.819-05:00Hi Shirley!

That was a great idea to start Before and After series from the very beginning of your blogging!<br />Besides other plants, I do love the big trees! They add a lot to the overall view of the garden. The last picture is very, very to my liking. Hopefully, 2016 won't be so hot and dry.

I do miss the Yucca 'Color Guard' along your front boundary but I've heard from others that Yuccas can lose their oomph after flowering. I admire all your stone. I dig up a lot of stone in my own garden but unfortunately it's mostly of the pebble-sized variety.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
