porch. Filled it with mulch and put in concrete pavers for the walkway. Then started planting shrubs and flowers inside the timbers and around the border of it. Made sure they were far enough away from the dogs MAIN area of use. Also put in a concrete fire hydrant for the male dog! Works great, no yellow spots. In the fall we also mulch leaves to put on top then wood mulch on that. Someone told me they decay of leaves helps to keep the smell down, it does work. Also I use the bed for starting shrub cuttings. Everything thrives in the soil. Maybe this will help others with the yellow spot problem. Have not put a roof on the back porch yet, thus the umbrella for the dogs.

design I did back in October.

Through winds, rains, snow cover and winter storms....it's been 4 months since I laid this design down and even though it has been somewhat weathered ...it still endures.

Funny enough, the thing that WILL destroy this design is coming up from underneath.... in a few short weeks this winter display will be completely replaced with tons of vibrant colors.

This is what I call year round interest in a perennial garden :)
