Hi wrightie,
I use the Red Russian Kale in the garden as a filler also. It self seeds well so I haven't actually planted it for years but that is an excellent idea to seed now in the pots of summer annuals that are starting to look a little tired. Do you have pictures of it growing in your garden? I suppose following that idea some of the red or cut leaf lettuces might be a nice fall edging. Although I have rabbits this year and I'm sure they'd find tender greens tasty. The lettuce could look nice with pansies and both like cooler weather and a little shade. Last year I grew nasturtiums from a late June seeding that filled in nicely by the fall.

critterologist,
Thanks for the path compliment, I did cringe a little when I saw I used the unswept path picture. Of course that is what it normally looks like, LOL.
