Beautiful!! You always create such interesting arrangements. I really like the contrast of the slender leaves against the wide heuchera foliage.

My Spokane Valley Garden

Located at the eastern edge of Washington, Spokane Valley is USDA Zone 6 (although late spring and early fall frosts at the bottom of the valley are too stressful for some Zone 6 plants). As with the mountains that surround our city, Spokane's weather includes cold, snowy winters and warm, short summers with little humidity. Snow falls from November to April (6 months of snow!). January's temperature averages are 22 F low/33 high. July's averages are 55 low/84 high. Our frost-free season lasts 120 to 150 days. While Seattle receives 37 inches of precipitation in a year, Spokane receives just 17. My yard is a typical suburban plot, just a quarter of an acre and surrounded by other homes. When we bought the place in June 2007, there were only a few shrubs around the front foundation, one crispy tree, and poor-quality lawn everywhere else. I'm working to make that blank slate into something special.
