The Berm July 22/08

That is beautiful. Working with a berm is difficult. I love to see the layers of cosmos, zinnias and datura. Which Datura is that? I have the single white one here in Rockwood. It self seeds and makes a wonderful statement. It hides the gas meter too. :) Last year, I had the triple yellow and the double purple swirl, but they didn’t come back, and the seeds were not good.

IT has filled out beautifully. What a difference (not that the original wasn’t beautiful as well)

That is so lovely, Bon. Worth every minute you spent hauling rock, etc. What a difference from that bare hillside.
