I took a tour of your post this AM, and I was pleasantly surprised- Such beauty & careful detail! You must spend enormous numbers of hours in caring and maintaining these lovely gardens. Thanks for making them available to all of us.

I agree with Leon, Sharlene--simply gorgeous.

I like the first draft layout of the new bed.

First of all, @TBGDN @Seedfork, thank you so much for the 's and to everyone else who read my latest post for the 's. I really appreciate it!

Leon, I do spend quite a bit, actually most, of my free time in the garden - it is my passion! DH says it keeps me out of mischief
Receiving compliments like yours and Debra's @lovemyhouse makes it just that much more rewarding

Debra - we still haven't made up our minds on which of the two options the new bed will be. At least we have narrowed it down to two
DH prefers the first pic with the bed on the left and I prefer the one with the bed on the right which involves rewiring and moving the housing for the bot mower which is probably the reason why he prefers the first. Either way it will definitely be a topic of one of my future posts.

I agree! What lovely gardens you have. I always enjoy your blogs and hope you have submitted your photos of your lovely beds for the Landscape Photos. It is always delightful, thank you.
