Today I am going to tackle the boxwood hedge.  Two years ago I never would have considered trimming it, but now I think it needs just a little taming.  And because we are now past the mad gardening rush of May and early June, there are sales.  And it’s time to plan a little shade garden for the west side of the house.  But first the hedge.

And if I happen to find some delicious coral bells on sale?  I’ll add to the wonderful bed that is on the other side of the hedge.
