Most of the bed shots I have are from a while ago, and have been posted before, but I'll post some again.

These two shots are the same bed from opposite ends. This bed has been completely redone and most of these have been moved to another bed

These two shots are of the same bed looking from opposite sides. Many of these have been moved and replaced with others, also it's been extended about 12 feet.

Many changes have been made to this bed as well.

A lot of changes have been made to this bed too. Picture on the right is same bed but a few years before the one on the left.

This is a long bed along the drive way.

My historic iris bed. Second shot is same bed after irises are finished and the daylilies and other lilies were starting.

Same bed in early spring. You can see the dead grass where I've started to prep for the Doggie memorial bed. I had just planted that rose, so it's ahead of schedule.

This bed is along the edge of my veggie garden. You will notice there was no veggie garden that year, Rolling on the floor laughing

Same bed last summer, but the veggies weren't planted yet. The short row on the left is the bed that took the hit with rabbits eating them down to the rhizomes. Notice the lack of bloom! Grumbling

This is a bed I created in memory of Sammie, Yetta, and Emmy Lou, Sammie is the Salt and pepper one on the left, Yetta is her daughter and is sitting on the loveseat, and Emmy Lo is Yetta's daughter on the right. Three Generations. They are all buried in this bed. If you look at the top right photo, you can see another iris row to the right of the doggie bed. It was new last year, and not filled with enough bloom to merit a picture. Maybe next year.

These are my seedling just after lining them out last year. You can see I'm encroaching into my veggie garden more and more each year. I'm going to grab a few more feet of it this year as well.

This is a small shade garden. I use it to kill hostas! Seems that's all I do, just can't seem to keep them alive.

I made another new bed last year, but for some reason I either didn't take pictures of it, or at least I can't find them.

That's it for now, I have at least one more bed planned for next summer, maybe two. One will be more of daylily bed with other things mixed in.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
