I have just been cleaning out under three mature spruce trees and a sugar maple tree. I cleared all the dead branches away and made them into mulch for later now I am wanting to plant things in this area. I have a similiar area that I cleared out last year and put hostas into it. Now I have put six or seven hostas in but want some variation in this garden. Something more 'showy' as this is the street front area. I will try for pictures tomorrow and maybe y'all could help out with some ideas.......here is part of what is already planted to start ya thinking.....

THANKS!!!
