I'm installing a new, mostly ornamental bed on the north side of the property, just to the east of the driveway. The featured specimen tree of this bed is a Japanese maple, 'Koto no Ito' ("harp strings"), and it's surrounded by a hydrangea, a couple rhododendrons, a couple leucothoe, some blueberries, and some native huckleberries, among other things. It's a combination of purgatory plants that badly need a home and some recent acquisitions. I don't have a strict design in mind -- just going with the flow and seeing what happens.
Kate and I also did some much-needed maintenance on the existing beds.
