    It's beginning to look like what I wanted. Still have a few things I want to tweak but...I like it now.

    I added Ajuga 'Burgundy Glow' in the darker shaded area this spring and it's really taking off. I like it weaving in and around the lamium. The Hosta have finally matured. The ones closest to the front of the picture are smaller growing with the tallest ones next to the house.

    Nice selection of plants. Your gnome against the wall made me giggle ... looks just like my 'Alfie', always up to no good :)

    I love hostas! You get so much 'bang for your buck' and they're soo easy too ;) Course I'm always watching for SLUGS and woe to any slug that touches my hostas :)

    Your garden is lovely :)

    Well, I think that space looks pretty darn good already. You've done a great job.
    What kind of tweeks did you have in mind?
