Dear Jeanne,

Take pictures!  Keep a camera loaded and ready to go and take pictures,
often, especially as plants bloom.  Fall is a good time to move plants
to where you would like them, to add, and to divide.  During the winter,
browse through your pictures and make notes for further moves, adds,
even things to give away or dump for one reason or another.  We've all
been through this scenario -- my first season, if things didn't look
good in 2 or three months, I dumped them and planted something else, not
realizing that some perennials may take two to three years to look like
they're supposed to!  About the third year, when one small plot looked
really
beautiful for the first time, I sat down and cried. Many great gardeners
started just as you have.  Have a great time with your new sunny garden.
