Annuals in purple. Entrances in yellow. Comments of designer to self in gray.<br /><br />And most of all, <i>-moz-elderberries-opacity: 1;</i> in red ;-)Smoothmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866977043552812061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-21772040845039790882009-10-16T00:52:24.799-04:002009-10-16T00:52:24.799-04:00It's very cool to hear your brain at work, wea...It's very cool to hear your brain at work, weaving all those streams of thought together into a park. Only thought about the viburnums is that they shouldn't compete with each other...i had one carlessii that successfully perfumed my entire 1/3 acre lot... I haven't had any luck with native viburnums but the birds brought one which almost by definition fruits well!quiltcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957819126177446578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-35661021040838424902009-10-15T16:44:15.869-04:002009-10-15T16:44:15.869-04:00Rachel, does the proximity of 10 lanes of traffic ...Rachel, does the proximity of 10 lanes of traffic constitute a Problem :-)<br /><br />jvdh - ja nee, gepraat van syntax, my typos were egregious :-( 'n Mens was moeg.<br /><br />Flwjane - can't wait for the viburnums to make good smells...<br /><br />Frank - permission to mix, thank you!<br /><br />Halloo Anonymoose, there is a patch with sun yes, where solidago and asters would be playing, and maybe we have space for eupatorium.<br /><br />Hey Donna - yes, this is a lot of fun.

So, ...Cleverness not functioning after long night.<br /><br />So, wow- sounds good.<br /><br />Mix the viburnums.<br /><br />Homeless, maybe, probably.<br /><br />How can one integrate the motion of the cars, the noise, with a planted landscape? Most elect to screen them out. Can it be open (inviting, less perfect homeless shelter) over enclosed? <br /><br />Last thought- surprise plants, yes! Seasonal flavor, yes- no more "green streets" planting lists! <br /><br />Thanks mom.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554893883207752597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-65348747067378559262009-10-15T08:14:01.925-04:002009-10-15T08:14:01.925-04:00something lovely to read before i dash out into th...something lovely to read before i dash out into the cold rain to catch the always late bus. will enjoy following the planning and planting of the park and will stop by in the by and by. and you can never have too many viburnum!flwjane@smallbutcharmingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-50262945410628313242009-10-15T07:10:26.143-04:002009-10-15T07:10:26.143-04:00In the zone - sometimes hard to get in, usually ha...In the <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=in+the+zone" rel="nofollow">zone</a> - sometimes hard to get in, usually hard to get out of, but a beautiful place to be, work and play.

I love to see how your plans become reality.<br /><br />I laughed at your covetousness of elderberries that aren't in existence yet.... just make sure they aren't near a roadside, as you shouldn't eat them if they are polluted by car exhausts. But you knew that....rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.com
