I am planting under an aspen grove in my backyard and am thinking of adding a retaining wall around it to make a raised bed of sorts. Seems easier then all the digging among the roots, etc. You did a wonderful job tho ~ everything looks beautiful and happy.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-48866032859406062152009-05-20T13:07:40.726-07:002009-05-20T13:07:40.726-07:00nice gardennice gardenimhkkihttp://www.myhobbyblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-53635086740958732572009-05-20T12:08:15.016-07:002009-05-20T12:08:15.016-07:00Very nice Tatyana - although I thought the first p...Very nice Tatyana - although I thought the first picture looked good but I know what you mean about wanting a bit more or fuller or just a different look.

My grandparents lived in Norman so we often visited the campus there. My dad was the trainer for the football program back in the late 1920s. Now to the gardening segment, it looks so much happier now, the plants are smiling. :-)<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-91115804589100491952009-05-20T10:00:55.148-07:002009-05-20T10:00:55.148-07:00Well done you they all look lovely and such a chal...Well done you they all look lovely and such a challenge under those trees.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-73102814830594470782009-05-20T08:28:31.216-07:002009-05-20T08:28:31.216-07:00You did a wonderful job transforming that area.

Some commentators gave good tips.<br /><br />Karen, thanks! Yes, you are right -trees can suffer even if we put too much mulch near their base.

They can stand it quite dry. I don't know about the Lavender because they do best with lots of sun and they might not like it under fir trees. Lavender also likes basic soil while Azaleas and Rhododendrons like acid soil like fir trees. The plantings look good.Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-65657922534441258112009-05-19T18:24:16.909-07:002009-05-19T18:24:16.909-07:00Fantastic!
