I planted a new clematis and will allow it to clothe the Japanese maple. Meanwhile it will be a very graceful trellis for Clematis 'Blue Light'. And meanwhile I have space for gigantic black Colocasia and other fast growing big stuff. More of those castor bean plants. A giant piece of yard art, perhaps.
All suggestions welcome.
I'll be sorry later when they start to eat the garden. I felt terrible. Speaking of yard art - the Fifth Annual Tacky Yard Art contest starts a month from now. May we all have happier things to report next week. Because after all, it's spring - and there are happy surprises everywhere you look.
