We have a bunch of trees that have grown up around our backyard that we are starting to thin out because they shade our yard. You will have a whole new gardening experience this summer.

You might find that you may need to change some fo your garden plants now that they are getting more sun rather than all of the shade. That is one of the things I like most about gardening though - the constant evolution of it. Chris – that is a fabulous garden!

We have been in our house for 24 years and I only wish my back yard (not garden) resembled yours.

The sad news is that it turned out to be impossible to keep the weeds from overpowering all those nice between-the-rocks plants, so most of the gaps have been filled in with pebbles, colored tiles and marbles embedded in mortar, kind of a primitive mosaic. It's in need of a good hosing down right now, but I'll take a picture soon. I wish I'd been able to keep the original planting because much of it was corsican mint and thyme so it smelled wonderful when you walked on it. I just wasn't willing to spend a day a week weeding on my knees on those rocks. Good luck getting rid of the crabapple! Angie, a eucalyptus would be even worse! Don't they exude something to keep anything from growing underneath them? Thanks, Amy.

I so wish my neighbors would take down their dying crabapple that is looming over my patio roses! I love the plants between your pavers--all those shades and textures are beautiful. Yay!
