All Seasons Garden

This garden spans a period of almost 30 years. In that time all sod was removed and replaced with beds and borders of shrubs, trees and perennials. A concrete walk was removed in the back yard (all 3 levels of concrete!) and replaced with brick pavers. Later a small trickling waterfall water feature was constructed. As the trees in the yard grew taller the garden became shadier.

A stand of painter's palette (persicaria) grows at the base of a weeping cherry. Painter's palette self seeds profusely but is easy to control and it certainly brightens any spot in a shady situation.

What does one do with the only sunny spot left on the property? Grow beautiful vegetables with the border perennials and add bunches of signet marigolds also started from seed!
