Look for lots of photos and video this spring. Assuming it doesn't just stay this warm (70 degrees for a high today) till summer, May and June are when the Virginia landscape is at its most photogenic. Thanks!

The easy availability of granite is one of the things I miss about New England. Down here, you have to have a serious buyer to talk about granite curbing! Rich, that sounds awesome.

Everything is looking good as usual. He had a project once where we used a 10-12' recycled granite curbstone to cross a little stream. It looked great and was a very economical way to get across the water. Hey Dave,

Trust me, the berries were all gone a week later. I love the other two plants you mentioned. I use the heck out of Hinoki Cypress and I've come around to the dogwood too.

The birds eat all my berries even before the leaves drop! But I do have another couple of winter favorites: Redosier Dogwood (also a North American native). Its red twigs stand out spectacularly especially in contrast with snow. The other shrub I love in our landscape in winter especially is our dwarf Hinoki Cypress. So green and lush when everything else is dormant. Wish my Ilex looked like the one in this image. The birds eat all my berries even before the leaves drop!
