    1. Randy, thanks! I planted that Japanese ilex hedge in summer of 2004 or 2005. It's getting pretty big, and I need to watch it close!

    1. Janet, thank you! Yes, this is Amur who is on my blog header picture! That was in 2005 when he smelled the poppies. He is 7 1/2 years old now. He has a friend, a 1 year old German Shepherd who keeps him young!

  14. Hi Tatyana, your garden still looks wonderful and your dogs are adorable. They look like they enjoy walking around in the garden, having a sniff here and there. I hope they don't dig or do anything naughty. Best Wishes Karen.

    1. Lona, thank you! I divided one fuchsia bush and planted its divisions here and there to have bright spots in fall.

  16. I see what you mean about the lush green. This is the time of year I see the difference in our zones, mine all yellow and brown, bare trees and the flowers all but gone. Today, I will mulch before the snow falls.
