Re: "Magazine" flowerbed


Naw....three years is *way* too short a time - try a lifetime:-) 
Seriously, I predict that you will be tweaking your garden all your
gardening days.  A garden is *never* finished and seldom exactly what you
picture in your mind's eye.  Parts of it will please you one year and parts
another.  It is the rare gardening year when the *entire* garden looks like
you had intended.  In fact, I'll wager no one's garden looks just right all
year - maybe we are blessed and for one part of a season, part of the
garden will come together perfectly - the gardener's hope...and hope lives
eternal in the gardener's heart.
