Doing a bit of daydreaming/planning for upcoming season (instead of pruning my apple tree). I thought it would be nice if folks could post pictures of plant companions that have worked well for them. I'm hoping to be inspired for changes, and perhaps see some that I wouldn't think would work (but do). Here's one my sister brought to my attention - as I was moving the red valerian to a sunnier spot, she commented how the lambs ear was such a nice contrast to it, which I had totally not seen and had not intended to move. So, I relocated some of the lambs ear as well, which is now just starting to fill in. I also like the forgets in the background, I let them colonize wherever they want, then yank them out when they look spent and see where they show up the next year.
