Just got back from visiting some friends who live in Lake Saint Louis. It's beautiful out there, but quite a drive from the city. They have a large front yard that slopes fairly steeply down to the street. It is terraced somewhat, but pretty overgrown. They were wanting my opinion on how to landscape the area. I love planting and laying out landscaping. I work by trial and error, though, and move things around every year. Their yard is somewhat overwhelming. I suggested first getting rid of the overgrown plants/weeds, trimming what they want to keep, and mulch, mulch, mulch. If they don't plant anything else, just mulching the terraces will make it look 100% better... That's what I did all day today in my garden. I took the day off so I could concentrate on getting hostas divided and getting plants into the ground. Another half day should do it; then I have to mulch. That's an entire weekend job, but it looks so great when it's finished. It was sunny and hot today and the transplanted plants really wilted. I didn't get a chance to water everything in before we left for Lake Saint Louis. I hope they make it...
