Wow! What a great resource. I have done something similar with parts of my yard. After looking at your photos I am ready to dig up the rest of my grass! Thanks for all the details you have provided.
ReplyDeleteHow big is your ribes aureum? I have read 3-6'. That is a huge difference! Thank you, Lauren
ReplyDeleteLauren, mine is about 4 feet tall. It does send up suckers from the roots so it can get much wider. The suckers are easy to cut off if you get them early.
Deleteso in this list are they the 'winners'? I am a Landscaper in Parker (basically your neighbor lol) I love your garden! I would love to come by and see it and ask some questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
