What a nice blank slate, and what a ton of work you have ahead of you. I assume daylilies will be in there somewhere?

Oh, yes. The bed on the left is four feet wide and will eventually run around three sides of our front yard. It will be exclusively for daylilies. The overflow will be in the bed to the right, which wraps around the house and currently contains some 300 daylilies planted much too closely together.

We do most of our work in the yard after five pm when things begin (usually) to cool down, or very early in the morning.

Oh my! How lovely that will be. Keep us posted. I really like your trellis. that's a pretty one. And Black Kow is well loved by my roses.

Thanks. The trellis came from Home Depot. We're lucky in that we don't have to buy Black Kow by the bag. There's a dealer about 15 miles from us who delivers it by the yard. I'm told that one cu yd is the equivalent of 20 of those bags, at a fraction of the cost. Because we're close by, the delivery cost is miniscule.
