I have a few squares of concrete that I've dug out of the front yard that would look nice like that.Julie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827476441219850741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-37667131633643827162009-10-23T12:11:24.308-07:002009-10-23T12:11:24.308-07:00I love what you've done to mitigate the lost l...I love what you've done to mitigate the lost laurel hedge here: you and I agree about the fast and effective privacy and coverage bamboo gives.<br /><br />One thing I've noticed in all your then and now photo series is a quantum leap in growth the third year. It's not just because you lost the 2008 pics: in my garden, too, it seems that plants just have a third-year fullness and growth point that somehow pulls it all together.<br /><br />I've loved this series. It's just so inspiring!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-8485915791382387402009-10-22T22:44:21.202-07:002009-10-22T22:44:21.202-07:00Megan, I would like to say that I planned it that ...Megan, I would like to say that I planned it that way but it wouldn't be true. The path went in because we had extra slabs from the patio and I was sick of the path we were wearing in the grass. Plus you can walk on it w/o getting your feet dirty/wet!<br /><br />linda, no, I am afraid Lila would rather there was no gate...she wants to run free!<br /><br />Pam, the trees are Doug Firs, the Oregon State tree! They are even on our license plates!<br /><br />Grace, thank you, I think the tree you ask about is our Magnolia macrophylla, Clifford. God forbid, I agree. I'll try to get more pictures, although it's looking different now since I took in several of the agaves for the winter...too much rain!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-73642334737188734262009-10-22T21:54:59.704-07:002009-10-22T21:54:59.704-07:00Hi DG~~ I had to enlarge the 2009 photo and swoon ...Hi DG~~ I had to enlarge the 2009 photo and swoon and wipe drool from my chin. This is fabulous!! The plants you've chosen as enclosures are so full and lush. I'm drawing a blank on that tall, large leafed beauty on the far left. Is it a fig? Love the blood grass in containers and the tall acanthus flower. More photos please, before winter takes it all away. Dormant, I mean. Not, like...permanently. God forbid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-56308625884986478312009-10-22T21:43:39.864-07:002009-10-22T21:43:39.864-07:00Gorgeous, Loree.

It's funny, because it looks so perfect now, but it looked pretty good along the way too. Makes me wonder what else you'll have up your sleeve as years go by.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.com
