I can't wait to get started.<br /><br />Bob - So glad you could make it and come all the way down here. Loved that you put the shade line on your plan - that makes me realize a new area is going to require lots of study. Thanks for the passalongs, too.<br /><br />Chris G - Sorry you couldn't make it - we missed you. But at least you were busy doing plant-stuff! See you next month.<br /><br />Janet - It was fun and productive and got all of our creative juices going. And it was relaxing to enjoy our outdoor space. I'm usually too busy working on it!<br /><br />RBell - Welcome to the bloggers group -- you'll have to put the next one on your calendar.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-88184890517908010652010-03-29T21:35:11.638-05:002010-03-29T21:35:11.638-05:00Katina - Missed ya, hope you got to Zilker.

I can't wait to start planning & implementing all those good ideas.<br /><br />Pam - It was such fun and so inspiring. You can come sit on my patio any time! <br /><br />Lisa - Yes, she's given us all stock tank fever! I am gonna do one with plants in it instead of water. Too many critters (including mine) to cause trouble in.<br /><br />Carol - I did get great ideas, and lots of them. I hope you are getting inspired by your designer. Can't wait to see what you have in the works.<br /><br />The Younger Rachel - Glad you like the outdoor area, we really enjoy it. The plant swap was great - get rid of stuff you don't need and get free plants!<br /><br />Gail - It was a blast. Sure wish you could have been here, too. But you can come any time and we'll throw a shindig! And I will incorporate a stock tank with plants in it.<br /><br />MMD - Ha! I'm sure the dogs will have a ball trying to mess up all my great intentions!<br /><br />Lancashire Rose - It was a fun day, wasn't it. I loved all the ideas and suggestions and it was a great plant swap. Love getting passalongs. Zilker was great - just posted it.<br /><br />Patchwork - It was so productive and full of different ideas. I'll take you along on the blog when I do it. Glad to see you're back safe & sound. Looked like a great trip.<br /><br />Jayne - It's so nice that we can get together periodically. Austin has a fun group of bloggers.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-9307994145544329632010-03-29T20:05:21.546-05:002010-03-29T20:05:21.546-05:00Being relatively new to the Austin blogging scene ...Being relatively new to the Austin blogging scene (and even more recently to the Austin Garden Bloggers Group), it was very nice to actually see & read what is involved in the design day.

After seeing it I couldn't come up with much as I was in awe of it.<br /><br />The little stick plant with the hint of leaves is a Beauty Berry. The dark green plant with the frilly leaves is a Blue Curl. It will bloom in about a month. It does reseed it self.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820151806039495564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-55004827518558852622010-03-28T20:36:01.713-05:002010-03-28T20:36:01.713-05:00Diana, you had a challenging area that was fun to ...Diana, you had a challenging area that was fun to play "landscape designer" with!

They will probably just think it is a big water bowl. Ha... I can't wait to see what you come up with. A nice Secret Garden sounds good to me.
