Yes, there'd have been more dirt added along the 4 sides of the mag. bed, especially the long sides.
The woman at the nursery advised strongly against adding as much weight as I was planning on adding (to the other (evergreen) bed). I had 3 choices: leave the dry rooty bed alone and plant nothing, add a few inches of dirt atop of the bed each year for several years and then plant, or do what I did.
Please tell me that's a public garden and not someone's private paradise.
I think that's Francis' back yard.

Naw, C.I., that's his utility yard where he stores his garbage cans. Francis is a very picky perfectionist.

"The thatched roof indicates, to me at least, the scene is that of a cultural historic site, like in Nara - Iseshi.
soz - the white buckets in the hamburgarten pic are full of water from the dehumidifier in the basement, which is 'settled' before use in the yard
the city hamburger lives in has watering restrictions, so those buckets help keep the lawns and gardens going
<i smartened up as a result of that reminder - and emptied the water from my dehumidifier on the dogwood and lilac which are a little sad. weird, that one lilac and one dogwood are happy, and one lilac and dogwood are sad.
Dehumidifer water! Smart!
The garden is a private garden, but open to the public.
(The pagoda seen in the picture is from about a thousand years ago, though reinstalled on a new base.)
wow wow wow (as my little nephew says).
This is in CA?
Wow to the Hamberger's garden and wow, wow, wow to Satt_fs picture. Walking through beautiful gardens is something that I enjoy more that almost anything else in the world.
In our garden, even though we haven't planted a formal moon garden, there are some plants that capture the New Mexico moon and send it back bathed in magic. White petunias, trailing white verbena, evening primroses and the floribunda white rose. The transluscent glow is stunning.
Diane, can you grow moonflowers in Albuquerque? I've grown them here, and the fragrance is almost magical.
They're huge, white, morning-glory-type flowers that grow on a large-leafed vine and only bloom at night. Lemmee see if I can find a picture.

Kyoto is one of the best cities in Japan to learn its history and culture. The Gion District is one place I would like to revisit for about one week.
