There is another that I've planted against the back of the house, it's got Japanese Forest Grass and Sweet Woodruff growing around it. The grass is a sedge ...

I mean there is the sadness due to the lack of a real summer...but all in all if I could chose I suppose I would go with what I've got. Sorry to tease.<br /><br />Grace, you said it!

I have wildly different plants, but find myself in a similar situation as you...the garden just gets better and better until frost! I also saw Pam's post today and agree...your garden looks positively stunning...you must LOVE sitting outside and taking it all in!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-297193534661876072011-08-08T10:09:37.509-07:002011-08-08T10:09:37.509-07:00The garden is looking fantastic Loree!
