Love the wine cups too but my wall garden proved too harsh (dry) for them. Next spring I may try some out on the front curb.<br /><br />Done is good. I finally finished hauling six billion more leaves to the curb for the third and last town collection yesterday in the freezing windy cold. Now I jsut have to store the pots and cover the fountains.

Minor problem :)<br />Mine is also Arctic Fire and if that's a dwarf then I'd hate to see the regular size. I do intend to cut them way back this year.

I also lost a favorite rose to rose rosette disease.Jasonhttp://gardeninacity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903271386070223045.post-21876223235732840322013-11-23T09:10:04.361-05:002013-11-23T09:10:04.361-05:00I am jealous of your back yard garden, if that mak...I am jealous of your back yard garden, if that makes you feel any better. It's exactly like the back yard garden I always hoped to have but never will. Not sure what kind of red twig dogwood you have, but have you been cutting it back every year? I have something called Artic FIre that's supposed to be dwarf, but you know how that goes. I cut the stems way down every year in late February. That keeps the new growth red and the plant size manageable.

Next year I need to get my front yard into shape and after that I'll return to focusing on the back yard. It's exciting!

In the first photo where you are concerned you have run out of room, you could actually eliminate the lawn entirely and do the whole space as a garden with just a path in it . . . more plants will be needed of course : ) and some lovely new bushes there would restore your faith in woody shrubs. Happy planning this winter!Laurriehttp://laurries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
