Things are beginning to shape up nicely

The hosta ghetto--a 27 x 3 foot L-shaped border around the patio--is no more. It took a full year, but the last of the hostas are out and flowers are going in. There are still tons of bare patches left to fill, and realistically this is a project that will probably take a couple of years before it comes even closer to matching the picture that's in my head, but it's a start.
