RE: glad to see folks are still around

Ah! More Shade
	What more could one ask?? You are, indeed, blessed. 
This year I have been trying to use the plants I have in my holding areas
before purchasing anything. Notice I said trying.... mostly I have been
succeeding. With all the rain and nursery business, about all I have been
able to somewhat keep up with is weeding in the gardens. They are not in too
bad of shape for this time of the year. 
	I am glad to see my results of planting fall blooming perennials
over the years. Nice to walk through the garden see so much in bloom and
know that much is still to come. 
	Speaking of Heuchera.... I have Southern Comfort with geranium
Rozane.... soft, large leaves of peaches and cinnamon with blue flowers over
and around.

Not much change here, garden-wise. Still love my daylilies and 
huechera. Haven't found any new sedums to make me droll in the last 
year though

I'm in the midst of expanding the bed on the east, mostly to move a 
sand cherry, but I've changed the whole shape. Instead of a rough 
half circle, it will be more squared off  and slightly bowed out in 
front. I've got more shade there than I used to so I've added lots of 
hostas and am eyeing some Tiarella and an astilbe. The sunny end will 
have more of the daylilies and other full sun lovers. The plan is to 
keep the daylilies that stay here to the small side or more 
interesting shapes.


The main bed is being thinned, quite vigorously, with many daylilies 
going to good homes. This is going to be a massive project. I want to 
add some more shrubs to the back of the bed, re-work all the paths 
and move the iris bed to somewhere sunnier. I suspect this will be a 
multi  year project. I think over hundred plants have been divided or 
left completely and you can't really tell I've done anything yet.

I'm enjoying my late season plants - the Canadian Burnet is just 
coming into bloom and my late season daylilies are showing off.
