Yes, this is a good idea that will help many who lack the talent for landscape design.

Many people have not a clue of how much is involved pulling the right design together so it flows. Money, time, finding the right plants that play off each other are just a few of the many ingredients that have to come together.

This can be very challenging. It was for me till I got the hang of it.

No, I don't want to help you with yours. The monster I have created takes all of my time.

kick *ass!

Watcha you talking about Willis? I already learned from your mistakes!lol!

"I already learned from your mistakes!lol!"

What you have learned this last year from my mistakes is only what I wanted to share with you. Believe me I could fill up the rest of this page with the balance of them. Instead I want you to experience for yourself how far your imagination can take you and how creative you can be.

I had Willis over to figure out a few things for me but I found out he didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Neither did a lot of other people either. They talked the talk but didn't walk the walk.

Trial and error seems to work for me. I like to figure things out for myself. The clock is running. I don't know weather I will run out of money or time first. At this stage of the game who cares..I have had fun.

I know you will too whass. Better rethink the Junipers.

As always appreciate the advice. I too like trial and error. My last major error was at the last house...no conifers. Guess what, I had to buy a new house! I'm at least 15% serious.

Here's to never running out of money or time (at least lets tell ourselves that for now).

Thanks for the link. It is a very cool idea generator. I had been looking for something like that a while back.

LoL Junipers are terrible. Gods forbid anyone plant those terrible things anywhere near my property! Oy!

My neighbor across the street was lamenting the fact that she planted some right below the second story of the split foyer home in front of the windows of the downstairs area. I laughed and told her I'd never ever have those on my property. I just recently removed a prior owners mistake of planting a spirea too close to a culvert. :( That was an ugly experience.

I love the design ideas link though. Gave me a few more thoughts to think over the winter. I've loads to work with, a nearly empty back yard to work with too. :) Hopefully I don't end up with too many 'mistakes'? haha!
