P.C., I like the way you think.
I love your plant choices    :)

And yeah, unfortunately a lot of the better looking selections will require at least some additional water which is why I asked about the possibility of installing an irrigation system.

A simple drip irrigation system can be fine tuned so that the cost of water is pretty minimal and if you're planting under a water-hungry, shallow-rooted tree it makes sense.

Yeah an irrigation system would definately be something we could do but I have no problem standing in my lovely backyard with a hose for a while every other day.  I like to putter in the garden but don't know enough to have a graden that needs really specific care and lots of fuss.

Pardon my ignorance but why would someone need an irrigation system in Vancouver of all places?

Hey.  Watch it. >:(  lol

The garden will be situated under a large cedar tree and stays pretty dry so it may need some extra help.  Besides, it's hot and dry in late spring and all summer.

Not a dumb question, dude.
Cedars have very hungry, shallow roots so the soil under them tends to be drier than the surrounding landscape.

Never saw a cedar tree til I went to Seattle and it blew my mind.  Anyway you guys don't know hot is until you've lived in the midwest.  It was 95 F (35 C) yesterday with 100% humidity and a hot breeze to no breeze at all and its not even July or August yet!

Yowza. No thanks    

I'm really particular about climate and I wouldn't survive long in a hot/humid area.

I have a cedar with your name on it.

ROFL.
You know you spend too much time on message bases when every other comment reminds you of a funny forum pic

LOL, tenkani.....I bet you're looking for it right now.

  I just went for a drive along the beach, and the skies opened up lak hek !!!!!  WOW...it was impressive.....now everything smells so good.

  I'm a putterer too Chicklet.  I can spend hours on end fussing in the garden but my knowlege doesn't come close to my patience.  I think gardening on any level is the most gratifying, of all things.  I never wear gloves as I love the feel of the soil (and the smell of good soil too).  It's such a peaceful....almost spritual feeling to be playing in the earth.

  I hope you learn to post your pics.....before and afters would be wonderful.  (and when you learn how, pass it on...lol)

I will pass along that info P.C.  You would think that I would have figured it out by now.  Too lazy I guess.
