For winter interest in the garden, Lynda suggested leaving astilbe fronds intact. And yes, they're wonderful! Next year, I'll even swap out other astilbes for more of this particular plant whose fronds are especially dramatic.


Lynda's also a scrounger: one year she grabbed a discarded artificial Christmas tree for winter-long greenery outside. Instead this morning I scrounged in the neighbor's yard bags for fresh cedar boughs for pots on the patio. But after Christmas, I'll be checking for curb-side finds!
