   What beautiful views you have, Kimberly, when you stop a moment and look up from your labors of love in your garden. As I gazed at your pictures, I heard a little of the John Denver song "Take Me Home Country Roads" with the line "almost heaven, West Virginia" filling my mind.
   Your plant combinations are beautiful and I, too, am a big fan of lime green. The picture featuring the anise hyssop and its companions is great...shows how wonderfully that color scheme works.

   Kimberly has accomplished a herculean task in so short a time, everything looks wonderful, from the distant vistas, to the gorgeous setting, and so many lush plantings. Plant several more of those spruce, their color is magnificent and the deer don't eat them.

   I absolutely love the variety of your plantings. The diversity of colors and textures is amazing and so pleasing to the eye. There is nothing boring or ho hum. I am going to look at these pictures over and over and try to recreate some of these combinations. Thanks for sharing your lovely home and landscaping.

   Kimberly, you've proven once again foliage color & texture are as pleasing, if not more so, than flowers. Like Meander1, lime green is a fave - I have the same anise hyssop. It's surprising the deer didn't eat your heucheras. I tried them the deer left them alone .....for awhile....oh well.... You've enhanced the natural scenery beautifully.

   Thank you everyone! ross121 those are Nandina Firepower. They are a fresh lime green in the spring and then turn fabulous red in the fall through winter. I am in zone 6b and the Nandina is rated up to zone 5. tractor1 I have plans for a few more Blue Spruce as soon as I chip out some new space, lol.

    Oh and GreenGrowler they do eat the Heuchera on occasion but only during a bad winter. I have learned to appreciate the stinky goodness of Liquid Fence ;)

    I love the views, as well as the plants. As a W.Va native, I love to see those hills, they seem to be a backdrop for such a great choice of plants. You have the magic touch in plant combinations, as well as color coordination. Keep gardening in that lovely spot. Miss those mountains a lot.

    Kimberly,
    I wondered how what appears to black bark is working out for you? I was thinking of using it, but realized there is so much foot traffic around my yards, and I heard the graphite stains things....so wondering how you liked it.... It looks fantastic against the plants....wonderful pics.
