RE: lawns and garden "police"

Hey! I was wondering if clever people like Rod could do some quick and
dirty 
planting diagrams of favourite bits of their gardens and post them for
ideas to
us less fortunates. Not your whole garden just special bits, like this
is my tricky
shady corner, heres a spot of nature strip I replanted, here's a
grouping I think looks
great. Is that asking too much? We could archive them all somewhere.
Either on the medit-plants site or I'd
be happy to stick them on my geocities site.

Anyone else think this is a good idea?
