A whole new dimension to the garden ~ a little more work but worth it. I always enjoy before and after photos, yours are no exception. The susans really own C&L, don't they? We can't help but being good sports when you take such yummy pics of them.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-80007395432938231122009-08-22T17:29:32.099-05:002009-08-22T17:29:32.099-05:00I so enjoy clicking back and forth between picture...I so enjoy clicking back and forth between pictures to see a garden in transition.
