Yes, it is. When I bought the house everything was covered in snow, so I thought I was just going to be removing lawn in the back of the house. Much to my surprise, the whole gardening area was covered with weed barrier and decorative rock.
All of the beds have been made and the roses planted and are now mature plants. I've been trying to find plants that I can add to the garden so that I don't have a mono garden. Plants that like the heat, for the most part, don't like the wet soils of winter. I do have perfect drainage, so at least they are not sitting in mud.
It's been an adventure. I've learned a lot by lurking on many of the forums on ATP and reading the articles and tips. I'll just keep on experimenting.
Smiles,
Lyn
