I mulched, but I like your idea better. I guess, though, I'd want to be careful that the fillers I planted didn't shade the new plants too much (I've done that before). Keep the fillers low is my thought.<BR/><BR/>Wings over Water is going to be beautiful! What a great vision you have (adapted or not from WFF or WG). Can't wait to see how it develops.Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655092218725044892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683241997705053264.post-90351781281618302952008-04-29T15:11:00.000-04:002008-04-29T15:11:00.000-04:00Frances, thank you.

It sounded lovely and as we would be seeing it from above as we walk downhill, I hoped/hope it will be pretty. <BR/><BR/>Patientgardener, I could envision how I wanted it to look, but keeping the little plants (labeled by color) straight and figuring out the way they should be arranged was a challenge. We probably made mistakes and in time (as I wrote), we may have to move some someday.<BR/><BR/>Now I am thinking about all that bare ground between the little plants. I know weeds will come up all in there. I'm toying with the idea of putting in seeds of easy flower plants to fill in the space until the irises get larger. I have a lot of Lunaria (money plant, honesty) seeds. <BR/><BR/>What do you think about that idea? I surely hate to have to weed that area. I'd rather have short lived flowers. What do you readers think??Barbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683241997705053264.post-82224408178535834632008-04-29T14:53:00.000-04:002008-04-29T14:53:00.000-04:00You must have very good imaginations to envisage h...You must have very good imaginations to envisage how it will all look.
