The above quote from Claire's note has prompted me to write.  I've been reading similar comments from alot of list members... What to keep what to give away/compost.
I am beginning to see that is what's wrong with my garden.  There are "holes" at different times of the season and must cultivate my appreciating for foliage.

The question is: What are you favorite combos of foliage?  Do you combine the green-blues with the silvers only or the greens to the yellows only together?  do ever the two palettes work together?

I picture a bed that looks like an old Medieval Tapestry but can't quite figure out how.
