I love before and after photos, and the transformation of your garden is remarkable. I keep thinking about all the mulch you must have spread--I'm not going to complain anymore about the small load of mulch I finally finished spreading around my garden:) I just saw a 'Ruby Falls' redbud in a garden on our Garden Walk two weeks ago and loved it; it's going to be a beautiful addition to your garden.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
