Beautiful

Wow you worked hard! Good job! PJ

I like "planted thick". If something doesn't work, the hole it leaves won't be so big either.
Looks great!

Looking good, Kristy --- looking very good !!!

Thanks. I am trying very hard not to plant the back one too thick since I have a lot of brugs in there and I know they need a lot of water and fertilizer. The front bed gets some afternoon shade and it seems like everything needs it here, lol. I put that little yellow cup ground cover Patty gave me back there in a few areas so hopefully it will fill in a little without taking too much water since it seems shallow rooted.

Yeah, I think natives are all that can really take our brutal afternoon sun. I love all the pots, they really add a new dimension to the bed! Your color choices are very nice too. What's that purple/red plant by the window in the second picture?

Speaking of sun, can that big hosta take the heat? Did you grow it up to that size? I have little ones, but I can never keep them long enough to grow so big.

The red purple is a Red Hawaiian Ti leaf I think another name is seven sisters and will be dug up in the winter. The one that I think you are talking about a hosta if its in the first pic you are probably looking at a brug that is in bush form. I only have one hosta and its not in the pics. It under the porch in a pot on a stand to keep the slugs away from it, lol.
