This year, I tried something a bit different with my flower beds. Last year, they were filled with tomatillas, basil and a hodge-podge of leftovers. This year, I filled them to the brim with super-tall snapdragons, dusty miller and lobelia. I like the way the dusty miller grew, but I don't think I care for the rest. What I do like, though, are the coreopsis (a former garden transplant), the coneflower and the fennel that sits just by the front steps. Next year, I'm planning to fill the front bed with Little Magnus coneflowers and purple ajuga--I already have them purchased, and my greenhouse boss/friend is caring for them until my annuals are done blooming. I may fill in with a few annuals, too. Any suggestions? One side gets morning sun, and one side gets afternoon sun.
