This is a south facing bed - about two feet wide and twenty five feet long. Drainage is fair, but certainly not excellent. Despite its south facing nature, it only gets about 6 hours of sunlight in the fall/winter, due to the house (mine) that runs along its east side (I am taking the shot from the garage).

Anyway, I have juniper bushes on the other side of the driveway, but that is a well drained area. I am completely up in the air as to what to put here. This is a section of the yard that I let the rabbits have their feed, and hence, have planted less-than-tasty plants. We don't have any more deer, as the neighborhood has undergone transformation of the highest magnitude in the last three years.

I'm not partial to perrenials or annuals - I don't mind getting out there from time to time. I have some papaver I was goint to plant next Feb, but this is an area where (a) I don't get to see it often, (b) the workers drive up and down and (c) Harvey and Bugs and Roger would have a field day with the lettuce phase.

So I'm lookin for input, and if you feel strongly enough about your input, you can send photos.

Thanks
