rainymountain's 3. Bay window bed garden

Garden Type: Flower | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

This is the westerly part of a long narrow bed that extends along the house, which forms the back of my garden. It faces in 3 directions – approximately southwest 3’, south 6’, southeast 3’. This bed is barely a foot wide edged by the drip line from the eaves and a pebble path. The bay has a 6" space underneath it.
It gets sun from early morning until early afternoon at mid-summer, from about 10am until 3pm in spring and fall.

In addition to the plants listed there is a geum, I think the orange one from Shady, and two Siberian(?) irises.
