Renee, what a wonderful opportunity! Yes, it does look like it was once a garden. I'd try to ID anything before tearing it out. Do you know what those shrubs are? It looks like there's shade there cast by something other than those trees; is it always shady or is there some sun? I can't tell what kind of trees they are, the one in front looks like an evergreen of some sort ... holly? I think you can do a lot more than you think in that spot. Looks like there's already a bird feeder - something like that (feeder, bird bath, sundial or bench) is a nice feature. You will have to find out whether the trees are shallow-rooted varieties or not. If they're not naturally shallow-rooted, some soil may have washed away and you could build it up ... perhaps a raised bed? (It needn't have walls.) It's hard for me to say what would be right for you, but just to give you an idea, here's what I have growing within the same distance of my trees, most of which are tall, deeply-rooted oaks, but there are a few shallow-rooted understory trees also: Shrubs: forsythia, privet, pieris, mock orange, rainbow leucothoe, azalea, rhododendron, boxwood, variegated weigela, yew, hydrangea (nikko blue and lady in red). Perennials: anemone, astilbe, achillea, bugbane (cimicifuga racemosa 'hillside black beauty'), bleeding heart (winter hardy), scotch broom ('burkwoodii'), candytuft, caradonna sage (salvia nemorosa 'caradonna'), columbine, coral bells (heuchera 'palace purple'), coreopsis (zagreb), daylilies, ferns, foxglove (digitalis mertonensis), hardy geranium (crane's bill), hellebores (Christmas rose), hosta, mayapple, Montauk daisy, primroses, spiderwort (tradescantia 'sweet kate'), tree mallow (lavatera olbia 'barnsley'), turtlehead (chelone lyonii 'hot lips') and an unidentified volunteer salvia of a glorious vivid blue that appeared late this summer. Still within that range, but at the farther edge: clematis 'ramona', coreopsis 'heaven's gate', bearded iris, spanish lavender, russian sage, tree peony 'feng dan, herbaceous peony 'Sara Bernhardt' and English roses 'Miss Alice' and 'Tradescant'. Bulbs: Allium, chinodoxa, daffodil, dutch iris, lily of the valley, snowdrop, tulip. Groundcovers: pachysandra, ivy, sweet woodruff and goats beard. All of the above get varying degrees of sun/dappled shade. I just make sure to enrich the soil like crazy when I plant, and moderately each spring and fall thereafter. If I run into a root while planting, I just work around it, push it aside, or, occasionally, if necessary, cut it out ... nothing seems to have suffered. Tuberous begonias do very well in dappled shade, some rival roses and peonies in beauty, but I have better luck planting them in containers than in the ground, where they attract squirrels/chipmunks. And you must dig up the corms and bring them inside before frost. I see woods off in the background - if there are deer in the vicinity you'll want to look for plants that they won't feast upon. Otherwise, you've got lots of options, many more than I've listed ... and a whole winter to pore over catalogs and make your plans! I've found that many plants that prefer full sun will grow very happily with some afternoon shade, especially in areas with hotter summers. Good luck, and I hope you'll have fun dreaming and planning ... and renovating that garden! Diane

Char I have done several searches and havent found that one as a midi yet, But you might find a program to change the wave to a midi!!! and you can change the mp3 to a wave with Cdex a small program for changing mp3's to wave and waves to mp3's. If you do find a good one to change them to a midi, I'd sure like to know about it myself.

Posted by gr8day (My Page) on Thu, Apr 12, 12 at 8:24 I've given up on HGTV. I cannot stomach one more House Hunter show especially the international ones. Enough already. I do like some of the programming on DIY. I especially am enjoying the "Vanilla Ice" Project show. What a nice person he is. I think he has to work hard to cover up how smart he is because he is seemingly very intelligent and is likely a great person. He runs a business, works like crazy on his reno/flipping business, has a nice family with children that adore him and is well thought of in his community. Nice to see a guy in the music business who isn't on drugs and clinging to the past. Who knew? He looks great in a suit at the final reveal. I also enjoy "Bang for your Buck" and the corny "Showhouse Showdown". Bob from The Bachelor fame is an odd choice for host but whatever, he is endearingly inept which makes it more fun, lol. He makes me laugh. _________________________________________________ I agree with everything you just said! I love renovation Realities too!
