So the lawn and plants all seem to be doing fine. I love the Blue Dune grasses that flank where the path turns. But it seems like they are too close to the lawn with nothing to offset them - too much "green".

So I am thinking about replacing the new lawn with black mulch,additional plants, and only leave grass between the stones.

Also, it is hard to see but there is about 4 inches of space between the lawn and the fence. The original plan was to plant alyssum in that gap.

For now, just enjoying how much better it looks than when I started. The daffodils came and went, the tulips are almost done, and the hostas grew VERY fast. The iris did not come up, but my helper said may take a few seasons.
