My only design concern, above, was allayed looking more closely, really close, & seeing it dealt with, bravo.

Did you think the same thing? About the 'mulch'.

Life is good for this home, pretty garden AND a marmalade cat. My marmalade, Mister, lived to 22. He's buried in a song bird meadow, where the deer slept in the tallish grass toward the start of the wild wood. Only the best for Mister. How anyone shares/posts about their pet 'just' dying, is beyond me. Tearing up now, and he's been gone over a decade.
