Wha, do you put your Japanese maples in containers and move them around the yard often. Sounds like a nightmare, and then how do you keep them in the winter? I know you have many planted, so what is the reason to containerize some of them?

Victor, thanks for the information, I also planted a Golden Spirit. But I don't want them to look like so many I see that are just big and messy after they bloom.

Robindog, what are you planting in that perfect bed. I never had one looking like that. It could be left blank and still be beautiful! Zen Bed. Love seeing purple epimedium. I planted one last spring, but think it is a no show this year.

This photo is for all you mulching fools like me. The trucks are arriving! We went with the lighter cedar this year. Smells good while spreading it. Patti
