The front garden is developing the low-growing, evergreen shrubby chops capable of withstanding the windy rainstorms of winter. We had a fine example of such a storm just a few days ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planted much later than the back garden, even so the front garden has filled out quickly. In fact, a lot of its plants are largesse from the back garden, either in cuttings or from moving entire plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
