By the spring of 2001 it's looking like a real garden (but we still don't have a digital camera)!



We've planted a few more trees in the "Catcher's Mitt": Magnolia x loebneri 'Leonard Messel', Japanese Zelkova (Zelkova serrata), a pink flowering American Yellowwood (Cladrastis kentukea 'Perkins Pink'), a beautiful Beech with deep purple foliage (Fagus sylvatica 'Riversii').



Unfortunately a lovely tree we planted which suffered and failed several years later, Littleleaf Linden (Tilia cordata), was replaced with a Japanese Hornbeam (Carpinus japonica).



We planted several trees in the "Herb Garden" as well: a pink flowering Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa 'Satomi') and a variegated Zelkova (Zelkova serrata 'Goshiki'). We also added a few annuals, perennials and tropicals to provide a little more color to the garden.
