Most of the plantings got trashed, unfortunately - and I'm still trying to figure what I'm going to replace them with - I go back and forth between viburnum and hydrangea and, and.... I am pretty sure I want to something deciduous - it's a western facing area that gets some heat gain (brick house) in the winter that I want to keep.
Leaky basement - almost did the trick, but not completely, grrrr.....
