This week I have spent almost the entire week removing too much of a
good thing, trying to get some definition back to my garden. Every 4 or 5
years I have to go through and remove basket loads of columbine, wood poppy,
Corydalis lutea along with several other great shade plants. And I have a
rather large garden. Gardens are dynamic systems.... always on the move with
constant change. Those nice photos are only moments in time that may or may
not be there come next year.
Also found some surviving name tags where I had once transplanted a
little gem I could not live without... but had long forgotten for it had
promptly died;-)
