I am waiting to see what will happen this year in our garden. I crafted two raised planting areas out of scalloped bricks, in the area between chain link fence and sidewalk. On the inside of chain link, which runs from property line to driveway, are three cherry trees, leafless now. Hubby wants a trailing type groundcover in those two circular pods.

I lost many of my succulents brought up from southern California, this winter. They were under cover, in pots, but did not like the new style of weather. Trying to save the cactus lily. I would bring everything inside the house, if there was a spot to put them!

Many bulbs have broken ground already. Thinking they must be the irises. Primroses are nicely green and appearing. The red hot torch lilies in corner by porch have got to be thinned out this year, as soon as I figure what to do with the cuts. Hmm, maybe into the raised beds in front!

But the pods need something to draw the eye, too. What about trailing vinca (maybe variegated) surrounding an appropriate perennial (for sun or shade) maybe Amsonia "Butterscotch" or Aralia "Sun King" - both very striking
