Out with the Old, In with the New

I'm not sure how much Charlotte and Chuck would like this title but this is their garden as mentioned in Barbara's eMo "Invasive Species" -

You see it's basically a shade garden but that's going to change as the big old oak tree in the backyard has to come down. (The trunk of it is pictured above.) They're going to miss that tree and the shade it provided. Now they'll have to see what will adapt or survive to the changes of more sunlight being let into the garden. On the up side, things that couldn't have thrived there before can now have a home. Oh, it's going to be a whole new adventure in gardening. Different plants to consider. Something to look forward to, and do I see another trip to that really cool garden center that I introduced Charlotte to a few weeks ago, next spring?
