Japanese Maple

and the new patio

The patio was finally completed this past January, and I've been slowly creating a border.
Due to the local deer, this border consists of rosemary, iris, blue fescue, agapanthus and verbena. I've also planted two rockrose, but may find the deer will munch the blooms.
They enjoyed my Rose of Sharon, which now resides on the deck. At least they've kept away from the deck... so far!
