My yard, August 2009. Added one bed last spring and one this spring. Tore out and replanted two beds this year. Built freestanding deck this year as well as redesigning main deck. Have to tear down arbor swing as it is becoming too unstable. Not very happy with the way the long bed on the east side of the yard looks, so I have to decide what to do with it. Some plants I put in the wrong location and need to move. All in all I'm happy with the way it has progressed in almost 4 years.
