I am amazed each year at the sight of block after block of this gardening. Your garden would fit right in here. In my neighborhood it would be daring too. The neighbor's are not especially fond of my generously planted front yard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-35899990208495184272012-07-29T02:07:31.361-04:002012-07-29T02:07:31.361-04:00Lovely foliage post which proves just how importan...Lovely foliage post which proves just how important foliage is at this time of year.

I love the way you've designed your curb strip, an inspiration to everyone. In a small garden the whole lawn area could be planted in this way.

Just when I think they are done, they throw out more blooms and with the rain we are just getting, they are even more rejuvenated. If I had a curb strip, I would definitely use yours as a model.Donna@Gardens Eye Viewhttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-5464607860469876422012-07-28T00:30:12.055-04:002012-07-28T00:30:12.055-04:00I like your curb strip too.

It looks so soft and fluffy and I'm sure there are children that pass by wanting to gleefully run their fingers through it.<br />I also noticed you have some moss. I've tried for 3 years to get moss to grow between the rocks in my shade garden. I think it is finally starting to make its move.<br />That dwarf miscanthus is a beauty.<br />David/:0)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495040805660192347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-36646394366260148172012-07-27T22:08:59.589-04:002012-07-27T22:08:59.589-04:00Sure, Pam.

Both of the curbs have gotten some attention in our area... such a daring feat of gardening apparently.<br /><br />Here is the thinner curb strip in flower in April: <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aFVsJ_FT11Q/T4ovYB0M_LI/AAAAAAAADk0/-RUySgArmqw/s640/DSC_0214.jpg" rel="nofollow">click here</a><br /><br />And the Front woodland strip has a succession on flower starting in March: <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2Q-OknUSuI0/T15Q1dTKYWI/AAAAAAAADJw/fnL7Es9syCU/s1600/DSC_0069.JPG" rel="nofollow">click here</a>Wife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-70420008850063017752012-07-27T18:53:18.345-04:002012-07-27T18:53:18.345-04:00Isn't that woodland curb strip pretty!

I have 'Cosmopolitan' in my garden.<br /><br />I'd love to feature your lawnless curb strip on my Lawn Alternatives FB page -- it's a great example to follow. Would it be OK with you if I used a couple of photos from this post, with a link to your site? No worries if you'd rather not! :-)Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.com
