Zone was 5b near 5a. But recent change now 6a/5b. Most of this plan has not been done yet. Except around the mailbox, in front of the arbor on the left, and the roses, russian sage and Karl Foerster grass along North perimeter. Also have rock garden NE corner. Need to do the hardscaping then can put in the asparagus and such along the walk.
