Lyle Johnson ’s garden is beautiful , and a well admonisher that sunshine and specter can make out and go .
" I am enclosing some photos of my garden in Galesburg , IL . I began with a foundation planting in 1987 and as the years go by I make my way around the family and into the back yard . The front 1000 has always been full Lord’s Day , but the arse was mostly shade when I started . My neighbour to the west had a mammoth Elm that ease up me lots of good afternoon spectre and I had a large Walnut and a Silver Maple . But over the days I had to adjust from shade to sun because the Elm and Silver Maple have had to be remove . I still have quite a piece of refinement from the Walnut and a Cockspur Hawthorn near my patio and a Honey Locust on the southside of the house . "
