        Yes, John, Garden Bloggers Foliage Day. You can post about one plant that has great foliage or an area of the garden or lots of areas, what ever you like. I feel that a good garden is good because of its form, texture and structure and that flowers, as much as I love them are just the icing on the cake and if the cakes not good, then the icing can seem sickly to continue the metaphor. I hope you’ll join in this month.
