and it's all Sam's fault! So help me out here guys

I have dozens of J. Maple seeds planted. Now if I get at least one of these to grow for me, I have invisioned a SMALL Japanese garden for it to set in. If you would please, just a few suggestions as to what to go with it? Keep it simple now. No fancy, shmancy stuff

A single Maple can make a nice backdrop for a Tsukabi.

Ye see the problem we're gonna have here Mike?
Ye see?

Debs ... ye DON'T want a lot of statues OR plants
Simple is the word.
Japanese gardens need rocks, stones and water
A few very large rocks, water (or a dry stream if you don't have any), ferns, hostas, your Japanese Maple, maybe a Japanese White pine (cloud pruned?)
Maybe a Tsukabai (basin) with a small water feature for sound (OR a Shishi Odoshi?)
Gravel? Stepping stones??
A little Japanese Lantern? (you can make one)

Ye gettin' the idea?

Deb118 · Post by **Deb118** » Jan 25, 2005 4:55 pm

Are you saying I'm difficult to live with Sam?

If you had said all this in the first place, it wudda made things SO much easier

Simple is... ME

Now, before ya leave for a month.... wrap all those things up and pop them in the mail for me. You have my addy.

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE???????
