Winter containers
Time to spruce up the containers with greens and other cuttings. Can anyone guess what the tall vertical purplish-black stems are?
Notice the populus tremuloides in the background. This area can grow some of the nicest aspen probably in the entire continent. I just wish it wouldn't come up everywhere in my gardens, it is impossible to avoid.
