    It's amazing what you've created in 5 years.  It looked like you started with a mostly blank slate and little privacy and turned it into a gorgeous gem of a landscape with so many cozy garden rooms and plenty of private spaces.

    Viewing from Nottingham UK. Too old to garden myself now, but just spending time touring your beautiful landscape was wonderful. Many thanks.

    I’m at year three! I battled ivy and ‘yuck’ removal the first year, but your wonderful garden makes me feel like I am on the right garden path…😂

    Beautiful garden! I just planted a redbud. Virginia creeper is an invasive weed in my area in NW PA and in other states ( as related from friends). It winds into my hedge, climbs trees and is everywhere unless I’m on top of it. Comes back every year from my neighbor’s side.

    Hi Lori🙋‍♀️ I have a Redbud tree that I bought as a very small tree and paid less than $20 for it about ten years ago, it didnt bloom much in the first nine years but this spring it was glorious! I was very pleased but wouldn’t you know it that starting in June it began dropping its leaves and I don’t know what’s wrong with it. I’ll wait until next spring to see how it does, I’ve always wanted one and I am so bummed it’s not doing well. Years ago I planted a Forest Pansy Redbud in memory of my father in law , we had it staked for the first year and the day after we removed the stakes we had very high winds and it snapped! That made me so sad I shed a few tears 😞 I guess I’m not meant to haveRedbud trees trees🤷‍♀️ I have the the pink Chiffon Rose of Sharon &nbsp;from &nbsp;PW and mine makes many babies! I don’t know how PW can say it doesn’t seed itself around because every year it does😆 I don’t really mind that much because it means more Pink Chiffon and I think they’re lovely. I now have three of them. &nbsp;I live on 5.5 acres so there’s plenty of room to plant them around the property 😀

    This may seem like a very silly question but as I&apos;m so new to gardening (1st year!) I wonder about how adding trees will affect other long lived perennials in your garden as they create increasing amounts of shade? I&apos;m thinking about sun loving perennials like roses, peonies, panicle hydrangeas, ect. Right now I&apos;m focusing on cut flower gardening &amp; though I love shade for myself, living in a yard that is 80% heavily shaded by massive willow oaks, I find it really limits what I can grow which I find frustrating.
