I have to say I do love my front garden (even though it does need a lot of tweaking come Spring) but the Crimson King Maple does cast quite a bit of shade around it (and stops the rain so that is tricky) ..

One of the things I love best about them is how they keep their foliage over the winter (that is, when they escape the chewing of the bunnies.) For most of this winter they've been buried in snow - I'm looking forward to the thaw in the next few days so I can see some green (and purple, silver, etc.) in the garden again.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-35660212160130021692010-01-14T07:09:18.566-05:002010-01-14T07:09:18.566-05:00Rebecca girl .. that is my "mantra" more...Rebecca girl .. that is my "mantra" more grass MUST GO ! haha .. I have to write my plans down this month for sure or I get totally off track .. but YES ! grass good-bye ! ;-)<br /><br />Dear Dave .. thank you : ) .. I have great fun with these combos and they do look wonderful early summer .. but you know what slugs can do and it can go downhill VERY quickly from that point on ! haha<br /><br />Jodi girl thank you ! : ) I think my foliage fascination came from being a child who was very fortunate to spend a great deal of time in the woods .. I loved ferns and their kids (fiddleheads: ) the smell and look of forrest plants were my favorite .. I think that draws me towards foliage more so than flowers but hey .. flowers can be fun too ? LOL<br /><br />Jen girl .. I'm thinking we should have a foliage fan club soon ? wink wink .. now if only we had a foolproof way of dealing out the slug issue ? ;-)<br /><br />Miss M thank you very much .. I am so happy to have these pictures to keep me from going too crazy over the winter .. amazing what looking at your garden in its prime can do ? LOL<br /><br />Rose girl thank you so much ! I do have a weakness for these combos and when I began to think of how many heuchera I have and how many more I want .. well .. I better polish up my tactics to making more space and cramming more plants in ? LOL <br /><br />Cindee girl .. hey I have been jealous of plants you can grow there as perennials and I only get to see them as annuals if I am lucky at all ! You have beauties there .. too bad we can't have it all eh ? LOL<br /><br />Gittan .. I should have combined these two posts together so you get get a better idea of what I was thinking and doing here ;-) Hey .. I am game if it is possible ..
