I also love Tim's riverbed semp garden. I find it very appealing and zen like. 
I have been cutting down on cultivars this year, so now only have about 680 something. All in raised cement block beds, 23 of them.
Thanks, everyone. I no longer have to cover my beds (HOORAY!!) because I took down the monstrous black locust that caused all the leaf/seed/stem problems. It was separating (they are notorious for having multiple 'stems') and this one had 5 co-dominant trunks that made a single, 4' diameter trunk. I could see air through it and knew it was time for it to go -- before it came down in a storm and took out powerlines, raised beds, part of my house ... you get the idea. My life is significantly easier without all the moving of signage and covering of all the beds in the Fall: then reversing the process in the Spring.
I know I live far off the beaten path for most of us semp freaks, but all are welcome to visit anytime the urge overcomes the logistics of a long drive. AND, I have 5 guestrooms.
And, a question. I have a 30 second video I'd like to post, but have not been able to. Are videos not allowed?
