That garden gate is beyond words. The use of the tools, the color. It is perfect.

Great write up and summary. The plant with the purple berries is Callicarpa americana, aka Beautyberry. There is also a Callicarpa dichotoma for those of us in zone 5 to enjoy.

Hey Billy! My biggest design problem is that I also have a vegetable garden so I seem to automatically plant in straight lines elsewhere in the garden, 'cuz that's what we do in the vegetable garden - straight lines!

As far as how I create plant combos...oh my, well, it's not pretty, let's just say that. I am in desperate need of a book like this. I need design help!

Billy, that was some excellent reporting. I hope to try some of their product this spring as I am perennially battling the rabbits for first taste of the lettuce.

I'm in Indiana and keep my night blooming cereus inside year around. It's a passalong plant I got it from my Dad, who got it from a friend of the family. It's easy to root cuttings from it, but it takes awhile to get to flowering size, especially indoors.
