Hi,
I really like those and I think the name rootbeer fits nicely.

I took a peek at your my page and what a nice yard you have and will have. Isn't starting from scratch such hard work? I think so and hate having to wait to see the result of all the work. My gardens are also about 4 years old but I think in the end yours will be nicer, I didn't take the time to add irrigation,soooo many rocks. Just old fashioned hoses and water buckets around here. Hope you keep us posted on your progress for the gardens...

Oh, I made a mistake on my potential "Midwest Gem". It is scented but only noticeable in warm weather. It was quite intense on a hot mid-day.

Karyn,
Glad you enjoyed my page. I do need to update it with pictures of this years work. I laid the sod last weekend. What an amazing difference that makes. So nice to give the kids a place to play that is not all mud.

I hire a friend to come help with the heavy stuff. Irrigation is a must here it is so dry that I could only grow a few plants until I put that in. I just could not keep the hose going and moving enough to keep anything alive. I must have tried every hose water timer out there. They would all break and I'd come home from work to find out the sprinkler had been on all day.

That is what took me so long to get started on the landscape. I had to plan around the water system. I grew up where water was plentiful and you almost never even needed a hose at all. I used to walk out in the morning and say "think I'll put a garden bed here" and it was in by afternoon. None of this extensive planning around digging ditches & sprinkler head spray patterns!
