You have to start somewhere
June 11, 2006: So I try not to get overwhelmed (too late). Just do something. So I take some Tiger Lilies and tall yellow daisy plants and corn flowers (a failed attempt ) (ok, from the start lets be clear I don’t really - know - the names of many of the plants I - knowingly – keep) out from along the path leading to the patio where the View Kira's Irises entry door is.
Knowing (if you do please add a comment and help me out , or recommend a good book on wild flowers) of course that, come July the path will be like a gauntlet... (especially in wet weather).
But I like the way the path breaks through to the little open patio area.

June 11, 2006 working on opening the path. The right foreground has Tiger Lilies and what will be tall yellow daisy plants come July,

June 11, 2006 I also have to free up the birdbath a bit...
...and tried to get a vine that will just choke everything if I let it instead wrap around a wire fence (until I can decide what to do with it), but more on that later.
The results...
