I posted a couple weeks ago about the narrow planting bed along our front walkway and my ideas for plant selections in that space.  Well, a trip to the nursery, some consultation with some experts and then a bit of elbow grease by moi and my father in law, and the horsetail reeds are in along with some heuchera (the bronze low growing lacy stuff in the front) and ajuga (Also bronze) and some icy ground cover.  A nice palette. I’m exited to see how it looks as everything grows in.
