Nell, I started one of those beds.............in the garden. Ten years later some of them are still there. I need to get them moved now, don't you think?

I did the hostas the same way...........much too crowded years later.

Your bed should look stunning when all is mature.

It turned out great Nell. Take pics later too.

Nell...every time we drive to visit my husband's family in north Florida (Kingsley Lake--just outside Starke), I wonder if I'm passing close by your beautiful gardens.

The beds look very promising indeed. I, too, would love to see pictures as the beds mature. :)

Nell, I think you've done it!

I want to see pictures of it later, too!

Thanks, everybody. If we have many more heat indices upwards of 113 degrees, everything here will be crispy, including the old gardener.

If you take the Interstate and then I-10 to go toward Starke, bamateacher, you pass within about 50 miles of me when you go through Tallahassee. If you take some winding backroad way through the edge of Georgia, you may be closer.

We go through Albany, Tifton, Valdosta, etc. I chuckle every time we pass by TyTy Plant Nursery because I remember some of the stuff I've read about that place online.

And the heat--yep--it's starting to get that "walking into an oven" feeling when I walk outside. I get up each day at 7 am, have coffee on the screened porch overlooking the garden, and plan my day. By 8 am, I'm working in the garden where I stay until 11 am. That's all I can stand these days. Well...I do return to the garden around 8 pm to pick blueberries. Ahhhh...life is good.

If you go through Albany, you're about 50 miles or so in the opposite direction than Tallahassee, then. We live at the Center of the Universe, about 50 miles from everywhere.

I love seeing monochromatic color themed gardens! Looking forward to seeing the later photos when the bed matures.
