cramsay's Backyard garden
Plantings (24)
Progress Journal (4)
Wish List (1)
A motley collection of borders and beds, with muddy, awful lawn in between. Long-term plan is to remove the lawn, re-do the beds, and put a water feature and bog garden in to deal with the drainage. One side is dominated by a big, scraggly bamboo hedge that I struggle to control. Most of my favorites specimens are in this area of the garden.

Sounds like a nicely varied garden – and not too manicured!

Thanks Nutmeg. As I’ve been taking an inventory since I joined Folia, I’ve come realize just how many different plants I have!
