I put two dwarf apple trees in and have plans for a crab apple at the opposite end of the garden. The ground is full of river pebbles and very difficult to amend. Mostly I'm piling mulch on every year in the hopes of building up an organic layer.
Of the bulbs I put in, only the grape hyacinths have been really happy. The sunflowers that volunteer around the birdfeeder always do well. The blue flags have taken over their corner of the world, and the tulips I planted last fall all came up - we'll see if they do so again. That still leaves me with a bunch of space. Some dianthus are going in this year. We'll see if they sow seed.
I also have a friend who seems to have decided this garden is acceptable. Anyone know where to get a toad home?

He (she?) is magnificent!
Did you find a toad home yet? I have a friend who runs a very nice, quaint shop here in Downieville and has a few... they are covered with mosaic pieces. I can find out prices and shipping if you want.
