iechris's Perennial Bed garden

Garden Type: Flower | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay I'm Organic!

The perennial bed stretches along the back of my house. Time and money dictated that the first year only the right hand side was dug in and planted and the left hand side was basically a storage area. In April 2008, I finally got the left hand side dug in and started to plant it. I am trying to have a variety of plants so that there in interest in the bed for all the warm months.
