RE: don't mind me -

Yes the RR is outside year round and I am not fond of digging up plants in
the fall since I do not have a greenhouse and room inside is at a premium :)
I should also mention it is in full sun, although some trees I planted a few
years back might offer some light/dabbled shade this season.

The scale of a G railroad is 1:22.5 if that is any help to you. Of course, I
try to make it look real, but not everything is in scale.

I added 6 small boxwoods last fall and hoping they made it here, as it was a
bit late in the season and some early harsh weather didn't help.

I already have many junipers, yews, and assorted items for the forest area,
now looking for more items for in the city scene, as a neighborhood street
tree. 

I have some thyme there, but they are not tall or woody, so if you happen to
run across the name, I would be interested in it.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
